Abstract
Turkmenistan belongs to the countries where the democratisation (Huntington in The Third Wave: Democratization in the Late Twentieth Century. Oklahoma University Press, Oklahoma, 1991) and transition have led to the conservation of a Soviet system (McFaul in World Politics, 54: 212–244, 2002). The case of Turkmenistan showed that the discourse of transitology (popular in the 1990s and 2000s) could move in the reverse direction, i.e. towards a more authoritarian government (Carothers in Journal of Democracy, 13: 5–21, 2002).

Ruhnama (The Book of the Soul), apparently written by Saparmurat Niyazov, combines an autobiography of the President, a revisionist account of Turkmen history and a recommended moral codex for Turkmens. It became an essential part of Turkmen daily life, studied in the manner of a holy text at schools and universities. Knowledge of the Ruhnama penetrated into all aspects of daily life in Turkmenistan—including driving tests or competitions in the recital of texts from the Ruhnama.
