The East star has begun to shine in Kara Kum.
The East star has begun to shine in Kara Kum.
Iron hand Saparmurat Turkmenbashi conducts the country in the gold
Century.
President Saparmurat Niyazov in a fatherlike way smiled to me three with
Half of hour - from a portrait in Boeing salon "Turkestani
Airlines "on which we flied from Moscow to Ashkhabad. Then it
vsepronikajushchy the sight caught from everywhere - from huge photos over
Inputs in the ministries and banks, from the bas-reliefs decorating
Infinite train of magnificent hotels, with risen there and here
Monuments serdaru (leader), with konjachnyh and vodka bottles, with
Local money - manat. In couple of days a sharpness of impressions
Has become dull, and then if it is fair, and at all on all it has ceased
To react - has become familiar.
And here I would put an end to a subject of portraits and renamings.
Eventually, maybe, it is pleasant to them? Niyazov has collected
Editors-in-chief of newspapers: "each number Will suffice my portraits
To open! ", and those have begged:" It is impossible differently, the people will not understand! "Yes
Whether it is necessary to overcome thousand kilometres, that once again
Easier to scoff? It is much more productive to try to understand -
That all the same disappears behind sparkling marble and gilding
Facade of Turkmenia, has the poor (despite infinite
Natural gifts) sisters in a brotherly family of the Soviet republics, where
The country Turkmenbashi moves? And what is it its country - who
Doubts.
Turkmenbashi and its city.
Ashkhabad poet Nikolay Golovkin, having arrived after the long
Absence in a native city, told, how went to the mum's house,
And in a court yard kiddies recited its verses which have been switched on in the book
For reading of the second-grader: "to the President with all the heart / Are grateful
Kids. / on day of a birth it is congratulated, / Grandfather Turkmenbashi ".
Business occurred akkurat in days of national celebrating of the 62 anniversary
Saparmurata Niyazov - for Moslems it is special date, the beginning
Introductions into age of the prophet.
- You tell is better, - I have interrupted the uneasy poet, - yours
Mum still in apartment buckets carries water?
- Yes everything is normal, - Golovkin has waved away. - and cold is,
And hot. Trouble-free.
The question has set not simply so. For the days spent in Ashkhabad, in
To head already rustled from unremitting strekota fountains. Cascades,
Surrounding belomramornyj a presidential palace. The huge foamy
Bowls on the central areas. The infinite overthrown
Transparent streams on the former tank range transformed in
Marvellous national park. To me told, how like ispepeljajushche
In the hot summer to walk here ashhabadtsy. I am sincere for them
Rejoiced, but could not forget, as in the first years these independence
Most ashhabadtsy received reviver in the apartments strictly
Under the schedule. In many quarters it did not arrive at all. Came
The tank, and to it ran, rattling buckets, from different directions.
Did not suffice, actually, only. It was regularly disconnected
Electricity. For meat on markets private traders asked time in
Fifty more than in state trade. But in its shops was not
At all. As well as butters, both sugar, and tea. Products of the first
Necessities gave out by cards off and on. That
To receive two desired flat cakes, turn occupied since evening. And
Militia, militia, militia...
Now I have arrived to other city. It was necessary to travel across the CIS, and
Therefore I can confirm with good reason: Ashkhabad the unique
From capitals where passers-by do not suffice for a sleeve the bred beggars.
There are no here both vagabonds, and homeless children. The most surprising, as
Polices (now it is called so) in streets very little, and
That with the automatic machine - you will not meet at all.
The first thought - peresazhal Turkmenbashi all undesirable
Element. So there is no, on the contrary, an amnesty behind amnesty. That to
Children who have remained without parents, they not mykajut a trouble on
To attics yes to cellars, and are defined in the Palace of orphans (sounds
Wildishly, but it really palace).
Has passed to familiar addresses: the Tekinsky market, shops. On
Counters - everything that the soul will wish. And the prices, in comparison with
Local salaries, humane. Especially taking into account that for
Light, gas, water inhabitants of Turkmenia do not pay. Bread - magnificent,
Tasty - 1-3 thousand manat (at the real price of dollar of 22 thousand).
Cakes and other confectionery products - too fill up. Meat,
The truth, more expensively, good thousand 20 for a kilogramme. Import shirportreb
In the local goods does not hammer.
Zashtatnyj, dusty, made hastily from the bare panel
pjatietazhek, Ashkhabad has changed unrecognizably. Scratching the sky
Spikes and minarets. Faultless roads with palm trees along roadsides.
Moshchennye a stone blocks and area marble. A generous scattering of domes on
Magnificent orientally palaces and tonirovannye glasses on
The European cut office buildings and inhabited vysotkah. Scope
The unusual. If stadium, by all means Olympic. If
Museum, the largest in Central Asia. If a concert hall, from
Volumes the head is turned. "The east star moves to Ashkhabad",
- Someone has playfully noticed. But, as is known, in each joke is
Only a joke share.
Only here who in this luxury bathes? - It is sarcastic
I asked myself. It was represented, the answer I know. It has appeared,
Was mistaken. Has understood it, having visited in one of the new medical centres.
Its dear head, having been lop-sided in my notebook, strictly
Has corrected: "you incorrectly write down our name. Not simply
Name Saparmurata Turkmenbashi, and Turkmenbashi great ". Then we
Long travelled on floors and the offices stuffed
The up-to-date Japanese and German equipment
(prisnopamjatnoe the fourth Kremlin management - has a rest).
pootstav from accompanying, has come into single chamber of a class
Lux. "Anabaj Baltaev", - the dark fellow has risen towards in
Sports suit. Having muffled a sound at the TV, he has told,
That has arrived from Dashoguzsky velajata (areas) to treat kidneys.
To get to elite establishment of problems has not made. However, in
The similar centres it is necessary to pay. For a ten-day course with the full
Board Anabaju have counted about hundred dollars (naturally, in
To national currency). Third will extinguish at the expense of an insurance policy.
Half of remained sum will be incurred by a country economy,
Where he works. Well, also consider...
Turkmenbashi and its Baikal.
We have drunk to the hospitable owner. Muratberdy Sopiev in
The answer has softly smiled: "the First at us drink for health of the father of the nation,
Great serdara ". Though also it is not simple. Hero Sotstruda and the Hero
Work of Turkmenistan heads country association of a name
Muratberdy Sopieva, that is the name.
Before dissolution of the USSR in Turkmenia practically did not sow wheat. And
When in the country which has found the sovereignty have ceased to deliver bread,
It has appeared on the verge of hunger, on purchase of an import flour annually
Were spent hundred millions dollars. Now grains collect more than 2
Millions tons, are ready to export it already. In the general loaf
The considerable share is made also by a crop from fields of association Sopieva. "At
Us in an economy was six thousand in hectares of the irrigation earth, now -
Twelve, - he speaks. - wise serdar has set the task, has helped
To stretch water from Kara Kum canal - five kilometres, three of
Which uphill, have bought the American combines. And so also have begun
To raise wheat ".
We go on the asphalted rural streets. It is visible, that the people
Is well off.
- It is necessary to hear, that reforms in Turkmenia vague, -
The chairman shares become painful. - but the clever person on abrupt
To road will not rush, reins having released. In breakage you will gasp. First of all
Agriculture have released from taxes, having stopped the mad
Roundabout when one hand gave the target help, and another
Selected it without remainder. Have passed in a private property
priusadebnye and country sites, having cancelled all restrictions, -
Grow up, that you want, with hothouses though build up, plant cattle,
How much you will pull. Then began to distribute in rent with the right
Transfers by right of succession the virgin and not used areas,
Credits lent under symbolical percent. And only then has reached
Turn to the arable and irrigation earths: three years on the allocated
Site has fulfilled, has shown, that thriftily yourself you conduct, receive
Free of charge in a private property. As a result all earths in Turkmenia
rozdany, but before distances de - hkaninu to get stronger.
Village plans for development in the country gromad. To 2010 wheat
namereny to grow up 3 million tons, as much a clap. Only
Here zakavyka. For this purpose it is necessary to win all from desert
The new areas, and waters in Central Asia and now sharply does not suffice.
Heard, that Saparmurat Niyazov bears idea to create in Kara Kum
The grandiose artificial lake, is not less Baikal. But whence it
To fill namereny, Amu Darya, whether that, izopjut to the bottom? With these
Questions also was in the water management Ministry.
- We already conduct jobs on creation of Turkmen lake, - has told
Minister Kurban Volmuradov. - to fill the natural
Karashorsky hollow, it is necessary to dig the channel in 720 kilometres,
Moreover the whole system of collectors to it to stretch. It is ready 198
Kilometres. The project costs 6 billion dollars, however to the help
From whom to ask not namereny, we will manage by own strength.
From Amu Darya for the future lake do not take drops. Waters and
Now it is a lot of, so-called drainage, which after poliva
Fields dump in desert. The abrupt brine poisoned with chemicals
Floods pastures, leaving after itself saline soils and bogs -
tugai.
- But do not think, that the Turkmen lake will be dead, -
The senior scientific employee of Institute of deserts Vyacheslav has explained
ZHarkov. - Kollektorno-drainage waters - it is natural, after
Careful clearing - it will be possible to reuse for
poliva to start in aryki on otgonnyh pastures, even people can
It to drink without damage to health.
On all length of water taking away paths are arranged with a bioplateau.
Also on the basis of local materials methods are developed,
Allowing to lead up water to crystal cleanliness. Assure, that
The Karashorsky hollow will teem with fish. On lake coast will rustle
Gardens. Pheasants begin to nest in thickets, ducks, geese.
Will come into ear weeding. In general, there will be a fertile oasis.
By the way, Karashor means Black saline soil literally. And it
The name while corresponds to the validity...
Turkmenbashi and its jeans.
The wife has scolded me. That has brought from Turkmenia all pair
T-shorts. It gently ironed them ladoshkoj and repeated: "Is not present, you
Only have a look what quality, the cleanest clap, yes where at us
Similar thing you will find for such money ". The prices, on the Moscow
To measures, really ridiculous. And that to quality, the Turkmen
The clap long since is famous. At the Liverpool stock exchange for the made
From it a cloth of the second grade pay, as for Uzbek the first.
- And to Russia a lot of cloth sell? - I have asked the director
Knitting factory Dovletmurata Allakulieva.
- What sense if for a finished article, and have mastered 160 models,
Several times it is more received, - it has lifted eyebrows.
On factory in village Kipchak we have got casually. Went on
The jeans complex, and the driver zaplutal, has curtailed not on that road.
The director to unexpected visitors was surprised, but on the possession has spent
With pleasure. To it to eat than be proud. The enterprise couple of years as
Have constructed. Shops spacious. The equipment, as if from the last
The international catalogues, entirely the computer control.
- And it that the such? - I have shown on the tablet at a doorway:
"With a cud and sunflower seeds not to enter!".
- Yes have typed little girls not skilled, them to culture of manufacture
Still to accustom it is necessary. And the peel gets to a yarn - vs, marriage, -
A little the director was confused. However when similar last time
Happened, could not remember. Weavers here though and not
Hereditary, but too understand, that to what. The factory gives to them not
Only normal job, the average salary in one and a half million
manat (to hundred dollars), but also provides with free dinners and
Health services.
The serious industry in Turkmenia was never. For
Ten years have constructed 700 factories and factories. Have thus managed not
To get into debt, not to type credits. Other business - investments. On
To their volume per capita Turkmenia wins first place among
The CIS countries.
- Well also what you here has seduced? - Has asked at Leventa Urula,
The general director of the largest in the CIS and the third in the world
Jeans complex where eventually nevertheless have reached.
Half from 88 million the dollars required on it
Building and equipment, has allocated the Ministry textile
The industries, 30 more percent co-owners - Turks and the rest
Reconstruction and development eurobank. In joint-stock company Mr.
Urul represents a Turkish side.
- The Earth is given in long-term rent, - begins
To bend it fingers. - an economic zone free
Businesses provides flexible system of privileges.
In a "red" corner at the general the world certificate hangs
Qualities. The most part of production noted by it - and it
Practically all clothes which only have thought up to sew from
Jeans fabric, - send to America, Europe and Turkey. 80
Thousand finished articles weekly trailers take away to Russia. And
In total percent eight from total amount deliver on the internal
The market, it small.
Here so the country earns currency, at all only sale
Gas and oil.

In birthday Turkmenbashi local football players have blown
To Kutaisi "Torpedo" in the ending for the Cup of the president. Both those and others
In the field did not shine. Definitively having frozen on the plastic
Seat, I have shouted that is urine: "In the Golden Age - with gold
Goal! ". Can not believe, but Turkmans have there and then hammered.
As a result they vs have lost. But it is not important. Will learn
Turkmans to play football. And here that their lifelong president
Promised: "the XXI-st century becomes gold for the country", it is essential.
Ashkhabad.
VLADIMIR KISELYOV.
