Currently reading Erika Fatland's Sovietistan and the way she describes how many of the central Asian former SSRs work is pretty much a possible blueprint for what's happening here. The narcissistic felon would be right at home in Turkmenistan.

Per una serie di casualità, solo recentemente ho iniziato a viaggiare per l'Asia centrale: quest'anno ad esempio sono stato in Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan e Kazakhstan - ho pensato fosse importante documentarmi meglio e ho comprato un libro che mi ha incuriosito fin dal titolo:…

I have both Sovietistan and The Border on my list after reading High. She hits just the right note, doesn't she.

I really enjoyed Fatland’s Sovietistan earlier in the year and like you thought it would take me ages to read but it was so compelling (and well written/well translated) that I raced through it. Will add this one to my extensive TBR and possibly will bump it towards the top!

I’m reading details about the first two presidents of Turkmenistan (in a fascinating book titled Sovietistan), and my heart sinks with each new revelation. The golden statues of the first president. His cancellations of most of the old-age pensions in the country. Renaming months of the year.

No-one needs russia. In fact, the world will be a much better place once russia is defeated and dissolved into smaller "normal" states. I think this fact is dawning on many "Sovietistan" republics now.

Last time In sovietistan (now Russia famine was artificially created, to push starving people into armies (there they got food and deah).

Acabo de devorarme en unas semanas este #libro: #Sovietistán.
Gran enfoque de la escritora-viajera sobre las cinco repúblicas ex-soviéticas de Asia central.
Ayuda a conocer una zona desconocida que en día fué el pulmón del comercio.
