This is the worst dictator in human history

Who was the strangest dictator in human history?


Saparmurat Niyazov (President for life/Turkmenbashi of Turkmenistan from 1985 until his death in 2006)


This guy was just the ****ing most.

Ol’ Sapar had a habit of branding his eccentricities everywhere from household names to government property. A few examples include:

-Giving himself the title of “Turkmenbashi” - the Head of Turkmenistan.

-Renaming all 12 months of the year after the supposed heroes of his great nation, which - surprise, surprise - included him, titling January Turkmenbashi.

-Changing the word for bread and April to “Gurbansoltan” - the name of his mother.

-Renaming the town of Krasnovodsk to Turkmenbashi.

-Renaming several schools, airports and a meteorite after him and his family members.

-Erecting a golden statue of himself in the capital of Turkmenistan (Ashgabat) that always rotated to face the sun.

-Banning dogs from the same capital.

-Requesting the building of an ice rink near Ashgabat, in a desert.

-Controlling an official Turkmen media outlet to project a cult of personality.

-Outlawing makeup on television anchors and long hair/beards.

-Outlawing opera, ballet, and circuses.

-Outlawing the chewing/smoking of tobacco in public places, suggesting people could chew on bones instead. This, coincidentally, came just a little while after he was forced to quit smoking. Bitter much?

Though illiterate, he “wrote” a book, “Book of the Soul.” Religious institutions and schools had to give it equal respect as their original subject matter, teaching it to students and believers alike, or be destroyed. It was required reading for anyone wanting a driver’s license, and a copy of it would eventually be launched into space in the mid 2000s.

Thankfully, after 21 years of the lunatics running the asylum, Ol’ Sapar would eventually suffer a heart attack in 2006.


Rest in peace, madman.

His control over the media and imposition of a cult of personality showcased his desire for absolute power and adoration. The outlawing of various forms of entertainment, such as opera, ballet, and circuses, along with bizarre bans on makeup and certain hairstyles, reflected his authoritarian and often arbitrary rule.


Perhaps one of the most peculiar aspects of his reign was his self-proclaimed status as an author, despite being illiterate. His book, the "Book of the Soul," was mandated reading for various institutions, including religious ones, and even became a requirement for obtaining a driver's license. The fact that a copy of his book was launched into space demonstrates his grandiose and megalomaniacal tendencies.

It is incredible how an illiterate man managed to create a book called The Book of the Soul. The fact that religious institutions and schools were obliged to give it the same respect as its original subject speaks volumes about its importance. I can only imagine the profound impact it must have had on students and believers. It's just like with the driver's license https://fairyid.com/product/fake-id-las-vegas/ who knows where to look is good. And the idea of making it compulsory reading for driver's licenses is quite unique. As for launching a copy of the book into space in the mid-2000s, it's an unusual way to share its message with the universe. It is amazing how this man's work has transcended education, religion, and even Earth itself.
