Podcasts about Saparmurat Niyazov

The Borat movies were a fun but far fetched parody right? Think again. The Central Asian nation of Turkmenistan is currently ruled by the clownish Gurbangulyýewiç Berdimuhamedow and his son Serdar. He has styled himself as an action hero. Unfortunately he isn't very good at racing, handling horses, firing guns, singing, dancing, weight lifting, rapping or any of the other "talents" he likes to demonstrate.  He is also a tyrant, presiding over an oppressive system of government that has seen untold numbers of political opponents thrown into horrific dungeons. How did he get the job? Well because he was the dentist of his predecessor the equally bizarre Saparmurat Niyazov. Makes sense right? Of course it doesn't but it is true and my guest today -- revered journalist Bruce Pannier a fellow of the Foreign Policy Institute was in Central Asia when the USSR ended and this peculiar new system of government arose from its ashes. We discuss Bruce's firsthand insights into the hermit-like nation. He shares amusing anecdotes about the seemingly insane rulers, and shares his thoughts on more serious topics including life for the Turkmen people, terrorism, and international relations.  Guest: Bruce Pannier is a Central Asia Fellow in the Eurasia Program at the Foreign Policy Research Institute and a longtime journalist and correspondent covering Central Asia. He currently writes Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty's blog, Qishloq Ovozi, and appears regularly on the Majlis podcast for RFE/RL. Prior to joining RFE/RL in 1997, Bruce worked at the Open Media Research Institute in Prague. In 1992, he led a sociological project in Central Asia sponsored by the University of Manchester and the Soros Cultural Initiative Foundation. During that time he lived in villages in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. Bruce studied at Tashkent State University in the summer of 1990 and studied at Columbia University under Professor Edward Allworth. Bruce has also written for The Economist, Janes Intelligence, Oxford Analytica, Freedom House, The Cairo Review, the FSU Oil & Gas Monitor, and Energo Weekly.   Music: Performed by Gurbanghuly and Serdar Berdimuhamedow -- yes the "rap" song is actually written and performed by the President and his son.

Центральноазиатским государством Туркменистаном в настоящее время правят шут Гурбангулыевич Бердымухамедов и его сын Сердар. Он назвал себя героем боевиков. К сожалению, он не очень хорош в скачках, обращении с лошадьми, стрельбе из оружия, пении, танцах, поднятии тяжестей, рэпе и других «талантах», которые он любит демонстрировать.  Он также является тираном, возглавляющим репрессивную систему правления, которая видела бесчисленное количество политических оппонентов, брошенных в ужасающие темницы. Как он получил эту работу? Ну, потому что он был дантистом своего предшественника, столь же эксцентричного Сапармурата Ниязова. Имеет смысл, не так ли? Конечно, это не так, но это правда, и мой сегодняшний гость - уважаемый журналист Брюс Паннье, сотрудник Института внешней политики, был в Центральной Азии, когда СССР распался и из его пепла возникла эта своеобразная новая система правления.  

The president of Turkmenistan officially inaugurated a vast, multibillion-dollar development hailed as the country's first “smart city” and named after the president's father, who established a pervasive cult of personality when he was the longtime ruler. The city designed for 70,000 is named Arkadag (Protector), a title used by former president Gurbanguly Berdymukhamedov, who led the country for 15 years before being succeeded last year by his son Serdar. The opening ceremony, led by Serdar Berdymukhamedov, featured a theatrical procession of local workers singing patriotic songs in honor of the city's namesake. The city includes a monument of his father's favorite horse, which established the Guinness world record for running 10 meters on its hind legs. Located about 30 kilometers (about 18 miles) south of the capital Ashgabat, the “smart city” is being presented as a prototype for other Turkmen cities, featuring electric buses and automobiles, solar power and “smart” houses that residents can control via their smartphones. The first phase of Arkadag cost an estimated $3.3 billion. Since independence from the Soviet Union in 1991, Turkmenistan has been led by authoritarian regimes that allow no significant opposition and has sharply limited access from abroad. Both the elder Berdymukhamedov and his predecessor Saparmurat Niyazov developed cults of personality that included elaborate tributes and monuments. The isolated country has also struggled to diversify its economy, which is overwhelmingly dependent on its vast natural gas reserves. This article was provided by The Associated Press.

 Da den mildt sagt eksentriske diktatoren Saparmurat Niyazov døde, etter å ha styrt Turkmenistan i 15 år, var det klart for nytt lederskap i landet. Dets nye president ble den tidligere tannlegen,Gurbanguly Berdymukhamedov. Han har med tiden gått forgjengeren sin en høy gang. Både når det gjelder menneskerettighetsbrudd og absurde innfall. Gurbanguly har blant annet opptrådt som DJ, og vist hvordan han behersker pistol-skyting på sykkel. Han har selvfølgelig også bygget mer enn én gullstatue. Ikke bare av seg selv, men også av favoritt-hunderasen sin.

Saparmurat Niyazov was a Soviet thug turned insane dictator of Turkmenistan. And as their leader he made sure to hit all the classics. Built a religion around himself, wiped out the free media and syphoned money away from his people. But what about his great ideas like...the ice palace in the desert. Or his beloved golden statue that turned to face the sun. Heaton and Young explore this insane dictator.

The sun is shining, the weather is nice and EVERYBODY is talking about Saparmurat Niyazov, the Soviet-style dictator who ruled Turkmenistan from 1985 until his death in 2006. During Niyazov’s reign, he ruined the economy, renamed the days of the week after his family members, banned dogs and cigarettes, and generally made life miserable for his subjects. He also tried to build an ice palace in the sweltering desert. This week, Chris, James and Michael take a walk through the streets of old Ashgabat to learn about the self-proclaimed Great Leader of all Turkmen. PLUS: during the intro, we take an unforgettable trip to The James Zone. Thank you to Present Day Gifts for their assistance.

It's another episode of 2 Bears 1 Cave! Bert starts the episode off comparing himself to minor league and Olympian athletes. What a surprise! Do you think Bert could challenge Caeleb Dressel at swimming? Israel Adesanya at fighting? What if they were both drunk? Tom tries talking about the new Chevrolet Corvette, 2 Bears Racing, and his genuine love for other people's fear, but Bert moves onto his favorite politician, Saparmurat Niyazov, talks about commissioning a statue of himself, and/or Tom Segura in pure bronze, and how excited he is for 2 Bears Racing! https://tomsegura.com/tourhttps://www.bertbertbert.com/bertyboytourhttps://store.ymhstudios.com/

Installed as leader of independent Turkmenistan, Saparmurat Niyazov constructs one of the most surreal regimes in all of history. Rebuilding the capital city in white marble, he puts his own mother at the forefront of public life. An absurd series of policies begins – nothing is exempt from Turkmenbashy's whims. Even as the War on Terror lands on his doorstep, the tyrant seems unstoppable. But, somehow, opposition will emerge, culminating in a dramatic attempt on his life.

Who's got a more Presidential title? You decide as Adam makes the case for team Saparmurat Niyazov and Anthony shills for Idi Amin....oh, and both of them were crazy. Like, CRAZY crazy. Hosts: Adam Azra'el, Anthony Staten // Producer: Adam Azra'el

Turkmenistan in Central Asia. Somewhere unremarkable, you might assume. But you'd be wrong. Away from prying eyes, an extraordinary story unfolded here. In the early 1990s, out of the rubble of the Soviet Union, a man called Saparmurat Niyazov creates a brand-new state. His regime will be a case study in modern tyranny, filled with bizarre pronouncements and barely believable laws. As ‘Turkmenbashy', or ‘Head of the Turkmen', Niyazov rules into the 2000s, sealing off his people from the outside world and turning Turkmenistan into a North Korea 2.0. But how does he get away with it? A Noiser production, written & produced by Dan Smith. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Un tiranno non legge la Bibbia, la scrive. E' ciò che ha fatto l'ex despota del Turkmenistan. Il suo potere è stato tanto assoluto da essere definito “L'ultimo Faraone”. In questo episodio parleremo di tutti i suoi masterpiece, come quando decise di cambiare persino il calendario, trasformando “Aprile” in “Gurbansoltan Eje” - il nome di mammà. Se il Turkmenistan è oggi il secondo paese più isolato al mondo è tutto merito suo. Saparmurat Niyazov.

Saparmurat Niyazov (Super-murat Ne-yah-zov) was born on February 19th, 1940 in the former Soviet Republic of Turkmenistan. He didn’t have the best childhood. His father either died fighting Nazis in World War II or dodged fighting and was therefore sentenced by a military court (two different stories on this). When he was 8 his mother and both his siblings were killed in an earthquake that leveled the city they were living in when the building they were all in collapsed. Niyazov spent 8 days digging himself out of the rubble with his bare hands. When he emerged he was the only living member of his family so he was shipped off to a Soviet-run orphanage in the middle of the mountains. (More on the podcast)
