旁白：本集讲述了土库曼斯坦总统萨帕尔穆拉特·尼亚佐夫（土库曼巴希）的统治，从其通过操纵选举巩固权力，到建立个人崇拜，再到遭遇暗杀未遂事件后进行政治清洗，以及他独特的经济和外交政策。尼亚佐夫的统治充满了专制和怪异，他利用石油和天然气收入进行大规模建设，却忽视了人民的福祉，颁布了一系列奇葩的政策，最终因心脏病突发去世。 Hugh Pope：土库曼人民对尼亚佐夫的专制统治缺乏公开反抗，他们习惯于服从官方程序，对政治变革缺乏主动性。 Adrian Edgar：尼亚佐夫在促进土库曼民族团结和避免族群冲突方面发挥了积极作用，他强调土库曼民族认同，试图团结各部落。 Derek Henry Flood：阿什哈巴德的城市景象超现实，尼亚佐夫的个人崇拜非常明显，社会氛围压抑，人们对尼亚佐夫讳莫如深。尼亚佐夫为了维护统治，切断了互联网和手机通讯。 Luca Anceschi：尼亚佐夫的行为体现了机会主义和对权力的极度渴望，他利用各种手段巩固个人权力，其统治充满了个人主义和专制色彩。

Chapters

Saparmurat Niyazov, also known as Turkmenbashi, rose to power in Turkmenistan and established a totalitarian regime. He manipulated elections, controlled the media, and imposed strict policies to maintain his absolute rule.

Shownotes Transcript

As the new Turkmen leader, Saparmurat Niyazov has absolute power. He uses it to construct one of history’s most surreal regimes. Rebuilding the capital city in white marble, he puts his own mother at the forefront of public life. A series of absurd policies begins. 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.
