In-Depth Information
A workers' paradise in the Soviet times, Yalta was badly hit by the wild commercial-
isation of the 1990s, but it is undergoing a visible gentrification. The view from the
spruced-up seaside promenade, lined with swaying palm trees, is no longer obscured by
the rusting carcasses of sunken boats in the harbour. And a very happy-looking granite
Lenin seems particularly pleased when
babushkas
gather at sunset to dance the waltz and
polka on the plaza that still bears his name.
