Soviet traditions ahead!

It’s funny: our old Soviet tradition of giving names to new bornes is slowly being revived.

A child was born on January 5, 2010 to a happy Bobokhonovs family (which was a day before Rakhmon’s Rogun hydro electric plant project’s shares selling out plan started). Following good old traditions such as naming children after remarkable events, this Tajik family’s grandpa decided to name his grandson after the Rogun dam. The name given to the boy was Rogunshakh.

Peculiarly, on the same day as Rogunshakh’s birth, Rogun’s dam shares began selling out. His grandpa hopes that when Rofunshokh becomes a big boy he’ll work on becoming a student of the Energetic Institution and later work on the station.

On the wave of happiness grandpa bought shares for 1000 somoni ($230) and still wants to make his contribution and buy more for 2000 somini ($460).

Great beginning for such kind of event as shares’ selling out, huh?
