Book made in Kazakhstan, 1995. The book is made in Turkey and is in it’s original box. Filled with numerous pictures of Nursultan Nazarbayev the leader of Kazakhstan at the time. Nursultan Abishuly Nazarbayev (1940) is a Kazakh politician and military officer who served as the first President of Kazakhstan, from the country’s independence in 1991 until his formal resignation in 2019. Nazarbayev was one of the longest ruling non royal leaders in the world, having led Kazakhstan for nearly three decades, excluding chairmanship in the Security Council after the end of his presidency. In the country’s first direct presidential election, held in 1991, he appeared alone on the ballot with no opposing candidates and secured an overwhelming 98% of the vote. During Nazarbayev’s presidency, Kazakhstan experienced a rapid economic growth in 2000s, driven by high oil prices and market-oriented reforms, establishing the country as a prominent economic power in Central Asia. Despite these accomplishments, challenges persisted due to widespread corruption and nepotism linked to Nazarbayev and his family, which hindered transparency and accountability, posing significant obstacles to Kazakhstan’s development. Over the course of Nazarbayev’s presidency, an increasing number of accusations of corruption and favoritism have been directed against Nazarbayev and his circle. Critics say that the country’s government has come to resemble a clan system. In May 2007, the Parliament of Kazakhstan approved a constitutional amendment which would allow Nazarbayev to seek re-election as many times as he wishes. This amendment applies specifically and only to Nazarbayev, since it states that the first president will have no limits on how many times he can run for office, but subsequent presidents will be restricted to a five-year term. In 2019 he resigned.

Book made in Turkmenistan, 2003, in the English language. Ruhnama written by Saparmyrat Turkmenbasy the leader of Turkmenistan at the time. The Ruhnama, or Rukhnama, translated into English as Book of the Soul, is a two volume work written by Saparmurat Niyazov, the president of Turkmenistan from 1990 to 2006. It was intended to serve as a tool of state propaganda, emphasising the basis of the Turkmen nation. Niyazov first placed copies in the nation’s schools and libraries but eventually went as far as to make an exam on its teachings an element of the driving test. It was mandatory to read Ruhnama in schools, universities and governmental organisations. New governmental employees were tested on the book at job interviews. After the death of Niyazov in December 2006, its popularity remained high. Niyazov received a prophetic vision where Turkmen ancestors of eminence urged him to lead Turkmens to the “golden path of life”. The first version was released in the 1990s but soon withdrawn because it did not fulfill Niyazov’s expectations. Preparations for the revised book were underway as early as April 1999, when Niyazov declared that Mukkadesh Ruhnama would be the second landmark text of Turkmens, after the Quran. The first volume was finally published in December 2001. In September 2004, Niyazov issued a second volume. Drafted with explicit parallels to the Quran, this volume asked that the Ruhnama be recited as regular prayer after purifying oneself. Thematically, the volume is concerned with morals and ethics. A total of 21 chapters deal with optimum manners and decorum for different situations and target audience.

Book made in Turkmenistan, 2005, in the Turkmen language. The book is filled with poems written by Saparmurat Niyazov. Saparmurat Atayevich Niyazov (1940-2006), also known as Turkmenbaşy, was a Turkmen politician who ruled Turkmenistan from 1985 until his death in 2006. He was first secretary of the Turkmen Communist Party from 1985 until 1991 and supported the 1991 Soviet coup attempt. He continued to rule Turkmenistan for 15 years after independence from the Soviet Union in 1991. In his time, he was one of the world’s most totalitarian dictators. He promoted a cult of personality around himself and imposed his personal eccentricities upon the country, such as renaming Turkmen months and days of the week to references of his autobiography the Ruhnama. He made it mandatory to read the Ruhnama in schools, universities and governmental organizations; new governmental employees were tested on the book at job interviews and an exam on its teachings was a part of the driving test in Turkmenistan. In 2005, he closed down all rural libraries and hospitals outside of the capital city Ashgabat. Niyazov ordered that all mountains and places in Turkmenistan be named after Turkmen heroes, poets and leaders. He also abolished the Turkmen word for bread and replaced it with Gurbansoltan, his mother’s name. He outlawed opera, ballet, circuses and philharmonic orchestras in 2001 for being “decidedly unturkmen-like”. He banned the reporting and even mentioning of contagious diseases such as AIDS or cholera. He banned news reporters and presenters from wearing makeup on television. He banned car radios because he considered them to be “useless”. Gold teeth were discouraged in Turkmenistan after Niyazov suggested that the populace chew on bones to strengthen their teeth and lessen the rate at which they fall out. In November 2005, he ordered that doctors should swear an oath to him instead of the Hippocratic Oath.

Nursultan Abishuly Nazarbayev (1940) is a Kazakh politician and military officer who served as the first President of Kazakhstan, from the country’s independence in 1991 until his formal resignation in 2019. Nazarbayev was one of the longest ruling non royal leaders in the world, having led Kazakhstan for nearly three decades, excluding chairmanship in the Security Council after the end of his presidency. In the country’s first direct presidential election, held in 1991, he appeared alone on the ballot with no opposing candidates and secured an overwhelming 98% of the vote. During Nazarbayev’s presidency, Kazakhstan experienced a rapid economic growth in 2000s, driven by high oil prices and market-oriented reforms, establishing the country as a prominent economic power in Central Asia. Despite these accomplishments, challenges persisted due to widespread corruption and nepotism linked to Nazarbayev and his family, which hindered transparency and accountability, posing significant obstacles to Kazakhstan’s development. Over the course of Nazarbayev’s presidency, an increasing number of accusations of corruption and favoritism have been directed against Nazarbayev and his circle. Critics say that the country’s government has come to resemble a clan system. In May 2007, the Parliament of Kazakhstan approved a constitutional amendment which would allow Nazarbayev to seek re-election as many times as he wishes. This amendment applies specifically and only to Nazarbayev, since it states that the first president will have no limits on how many times he can run for office, but subsequent presidents will be restricted to a five-year term. In 2019 he resigned.

Among the oldest and rarest breeds in the world today, they are highly prized internationally for their intelligence, endurance and speed. As it is believed that historically the Akhal-Teke stallion is a one-owner horse, it is not customary to give, sell or exchange horses in Turkmenistan. The rider and his mount form an inseparable team and only part in death. In order to raise such loyal horses, meticulous stall maintenance and care is needed. Traditionally, Akhal-Teke horses lived long lives and often accompanied their master on his final journey. Turkmen Akhal-Teke horses began to increase in popularity around the world only after Turkmenistan gained independence in 1991. Today, it is one of the rarest and most highly prized breeds in the world. Considered a cultural treasure, its image has even been placed on Turkmenistan’s national emblem as a symbol of freedom.

Book made in Kazakhstan, 2010. Made in the English language. Quality book with information about Kazakhstan on all levels. Kazakhstan is a landlocked country mostly in Central Asia, with a small part in Eastern Europe. Its capital is Astana, while the largest city and leading cultural and commercial hub is Almaty. Kazakhstan is the world’s ninth-largest country by land area and the largest landlocked country. It has a population of 20 million and one of the lowest population densities in the world. Ethnic Kazakhs constitute a majority, while ethnic Russians form a significant minority. Officially secular, Kazakhstan is a Muslim-majority country, although ethnic Russians in the country form a sizeable Christian community. Following the collapse of central government in Petrograd in November 1917, the Kazakhs experienced a brief period of autonomy before eventually succumbing to the Bolsheviks′ rule. The Soviet-German War (1941–1945) led to an increase in industrialization and mineral extraction in support of the war effort. In 1947, the USSR, as part of its atomic bomb project, founded an atomic bomb test site near the north-eastern town of Semipalatinsk, where the first Soviet nuclear bomb test was conducted in 1949. Hundreds of nuclear tests were conducted until 1989. The Anti-nuclear movement in Kazakhstan became a major political force in the late 1980s. Officially, Kazakhstan is a democratic, secular, constitutional unitary republic; Nursultan Nazarbayev led the country from 1991 to 2019. He was succeeded by Kassym-Jomart Tokayev. The president may veto legislation that has been passed by the parliament and is also the commander in chief of the armed forces.

Stamp made in North Korea, 2004. The stamp is called:”Kim Jong Suk, Mother of Kim Jong Il”.

Stamp made in North Korea, 2004. The stamp is called:”The 92nd Anniversary of the Birth of Kim Il Sung, 1912-1994”. Kim Il Sung was the son of parents who fled to Manchuria during his childhood to escape the Japanese rule of Korea. He attended elementary school in Manchuria and, while still a student, joined a communist youth organization. He was arrested and jailed for his activities with the group in 1929–30. After Kim’s release from prison, he joined the Korean guerrilla resistance against the Japanese occupation sometime during the 1930s and adopted the name of an earlier legendary Korean guerrilla fighter against the Japanese. Kim was noticed by the Soviet military authorities, who sent him to the Soviet Union for military and political training. There he joined the local Communist Party. During World War II, Kim led a Korean contingent as a major in the Soviet army. After the Japanese surrender in 1945, Korea was effectively divided between a Soviet-occupied northern half and a U.S.-supported southern half. At this time Kim returned with other Soviet-trained Koreans to establish a communist provisional government under Soviet auspices in what would become North Korea. He became the first premier of the newly formed Democratic People’s Republic of Korea in 1948, and in 1949 he became chairman of the Korean Workers’ (communist) Party. In 1950 the Korean war started. With help of Chinese support he was able to repel a subsequent invasion of North Korea by UN forces. The Korean War ended in a stalemate in 1953. Kim Il Sung was leader of North Korea from 1948 until 1994 when he died. He outlived Stalin by 4 decades, Mao Zedong with 2, and stayed in power long enough to outrun 6 South Korean presidents, 9 USA presidents and 21 Japanese prime ministers. After his death his son Kim Jong Il became the leader of North Korea. The North Korean government to this day refers Kim Il Sung as the Supreme Leader and the Eternal President.

Full of pictures of the Ruhy Mosque. Beautiful book. Türkmenbaşy Ruhy Mosque is a mosque in Gypjak, Turkmenistan and the resting place for Saparmurat Niyazov, the leader of Turkmenistan from 1985 to 2006. The mosque is located about 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) west of the capital, Ashgabat. The mosque, constructed by the French company Bouygues, was built in the home town of President Saparmurat Niyazov. It opened on 22 October 2004, and was built with a mausoleum in preparation for his death. Nyýazow died two years later, and was buried in the mausoleum on 24 December 2006. The mosque has been at the center of controversy as scriptures from both the Quran and the Ruhnama (The Book of the Soul), Nyýazow’s ‘pseudo-spiritual guide to life’ are built into the walls. It has outraged many Muslims that the Ruhnama is placed as the Koran’s equal. Indeed, despite its capacity to accommodate 10,000 congregants, the mosque is often empty as the Ruhnama inscriptions are considered blasphemous by devout mosquegoers.

After over a century of being a part of the Russian Empire and then the Soviet Union, Turkmenistan declared its independence on 27 October 1991, following the dissolution of the Soviet Union. Saparmurat Niyazov, a former official of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, ruled Turkmenistan from 1985, when he became head of the Communist Party of the Turkmen SSR, until his death in 2006.

On 28 December 1999, Niyazov was declared President for Life of Turkmenistan by the Mejlis (parliament), which itself had taken office a week earlier in elections that included only candidates hand picked by President Niyazov. No opposition candidates were allowed. Since the December 2006 death of Niyazov, Turkmenistan’s leadership has made tentative moves to open up the country. His successor, President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow, repealed some of Niyazov’s policies, including banning operas and circuses for being “insufficiently Turkmen”, though other such rules were later put into place such as the banning of non white cars. Berdimuhamedow was succeeded by his son Serdar in 2022.

The 27th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union was held from 25 February to 6 March 1986 in Moscow. This was the first congress presided over by Mikhail Gorbachev as General Secretary of the Central Committee of the CPSU. In accordance with the pattern set 20 years earlier by Leonid Brezhnev, the congress occurred five years after the previous CPSU Congress. Much had changed in those five years. Key figures of Soviet politics, Mikhail Suslov, Leonid Brezhnev, Yuri Andropov, Dmitriy Ustinov, and Konstantin Chernenko had died, and Mikhail Gorbachev had become General Secretary of the Party. For this reason the congress was widely anticipated, both at home and abroad, as an indicator of Gorbachev’s new policies and directions. The congress was attended by 4993 delegates. It elected the Central Committee of the 27th term.

Gheorghiu-Dej stepped up measures that greatly increased trade relations between Romania and the Western countries. He died of lung cancer in March 1965. His once protégé Nicolae Ceaușescu succeeded him as General Secretary.

Book made in Kazakhstan with lots of pictures. The book is about the capital city of Kazachstan, now called Astana. Between march 2019 and setember 2022 the town was called Nur Sultan. The book is from 2019. Kazakhstan is a landlocked country mostly in Central Asia, with a small part in Eastern Europe. Its capital is Astana, while the largest city and leading cultural and commercial hub is Almaty. Kazakhstan is the world’s ninth-largest country by land area and the largest landlocked country. It has a population of 20 million and one of the lowest population densities in the world. Ethnic Kazakhs constitute a majority, while ethnic Russians form a significant minority. Officially secular, Kazakhstan is a Muslim-majority country, although ethnic Russians in the country form a sizeable Christian community. Following the collapse of central government in Petrograd in November 1917, the Kazakhs experienced a brief period of autonomy before eventually succumbing to the Bolsheviks′ rule. The Soviet-German War (1941–1945) led to an increase in industrialization and mineral extraction in support of the war effort. In 1947, the USSR, as part of its atomic bomb project, founded an atomic bomb test site near the north-eastern town of Semipalatinsk, where the first Soviet nuclear bomb test was conducted in 1949. Hundreds of nuclear tests were conducted until 1989. The Anti-nuclear movement in Kazakhstan became a major political force in the late 1980s. Officially, Kazakhstan is a democratic, secular, constitutional unitary republic; Nursultan Nazarbayev led the country from 1991 to 2019. He was succeeded by Kassym-Jomart Tokayev. The president may veto legislation that has been passed by the parliament and is also the commander in chief of the armed forces.

Absolutely great quality propaganda book with hundreds of pages and pictures, most of them of Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow who was leader of Turkmenistan at the time (until 2022). After over a century of being a part of the Russian Empire and then the Soviet Union, Turkmenistan declared its independence on 27 October 1991, following the dissolution of the Soviet Union. Saparmurat Niyazov, a former official of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, ruled Turkmenistan from 1985, when he became head of the Communist Party of the Turkmen SSR, until his death in 2006. He retained absolute control over the country. On 28 December 1999, Niyazov was declared President for Life of Turkmenistan by the Mejlis (parliament), which itself had taken office a week earlier in elections that included only candidates hand picked by President Niyazov. No opposition candidates were allowed. Since the December 2006 death of Niyazov, Turkmenistan’s leadership has made tentative moves to open up the country. His successor, President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow, repealed some of Niyazov’s policies, including banning operas and circuses for being “insufficiently Turkmen”, though other such rules were later put into place such as the banning of non white cars. Berdimuhamedow was succeeded by his son Serdar in 2022.

Green book written by Muammar Gaddafi, Libya, 1984. In the Arabic language. The Green Book is a short book setting out the political philosophy of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi. The book was first published in 1975. The Green Book rejects both capitalism and communism, as well as representative democracy.

It was “intended to be read by all people”. It is said to have been inspired in part by The Little Red Book (Quotations from Chairman Mao Tse-tung).

Book made in Libya, 1976, by Mohammed Bescir Fergiani Publishers. The Libyan Arab Socialist People’s Jamahiriya, from 1986 the Great Libyan Arab Socialist People’s Jamahiriya (S.P.L.A.J.) was the official name for Libya between 1977 and 2011. The People’s Jammariyah was proclaimed on March 2, 1977 by Colonel Muammar Gaddafi to replace the Libyan Arab Republic. This was accompanied by major political changes in which Gaddafi became secretary general of the General People’s Congress (parliament) and head of state. From 1979 onwards, Gaddafi no longer held an official position, but in practice he remained the leader of Libya as Guide of the Revolution. The political structure of the Jammariya was based on Gaddafi’s Third International Theory which he described in The Green Book. The word Great was added to the official name by Gaddafi after Operation El Dorado Canyon on April 14, 1986, in which the Americans bombed three Libyan cities. This bombing was in retaliation for the bombing of the La Belle nightclub in West Berlin, which killed two American soldiers and for which Gaddafi was accountable. The 2011 Uprising in Libya, inspired by the Arab Spring, brought an end to the regime of Gaddafi and the People’s Jamahiriya. Gaddafi was killed on October 20, 2011.

Book made in Kazakhstan, 2009, made in the Romanian language. The title of the book reads:”The strategy of the radical renewal of the world community and the partnership of civilizations” and is written by Nursultan Nazarbayev. From the book:”This book was published by the diplomatic mission of the Republic of Kazakhstan in Romania with the support of the community”. Nursultan Abishuly Nazarbayev (1940) is a Kazakh politician and military officer who served as the first President of Kazakhstan, from the country’s independence in 1991 until his formal resignation in 2019. Nazarbayev was one of the longest ruling non royal leaders in the world, having led Kazakhstan for nearly three decades, excluding chairmanship in the Security Council after the end of his presidency. In the country’s first direct presidential election, held in 1991, he appeared alone on the ballot with no opposing candidates and secured an overwhelming 98% of the vote. During Nazarbayev’s presidency, Kazakhstan experienced a rapid economic growth in 2000s, driven by high oil prices and market-oriented reforms, establishing the country as a prominent economic power in Central Asia. Despite these accomplishments, challenges persisted due to widespread corruption and nepotism linked to Nazarbayev and his family, which hindered transparency and accountability, posing significant obstacles to Kazakhstan’s development. Over the course of Nazarbayev’s presidency, an increasing number of accusations of corruption and favoritism have been directed against Nazarbayev and his circle. Critics say that the country’s government has come to resemble a clan system. In May 2007, the Parliament of Kazakhstan approved a constitutional amendment which would allow Nazarbayev to seek re-election as many times as he wishes. This amendment applies specifically and only to Nazarbayev, since it states that the first president will have no limits on how many times he can run for office, but subsequent presidents will be restricted to a five-year term. In 2019 he resigned.

Written by Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow and is in the English language. After over a century of being a part of the Russian Empire and then the Soviet Union, Turkmenistan declared its independence on 27 October 1991, following the dissolution of the Soviet Union. Saparmurat Niyazov, a former official of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, ruled Turkmenistan from 1985, when he became head of the Communist Party of the Turkmen SSR, until his death in 2006. He retained absolute control over the country. On 28 December 1999, Niyazov was declared President for Life of Turkmenistan by the Mejlis (parliament), which itself had taken office a week earlier in elections that included only candidates hand picked by President Niyazov. No opposition candidates were allowed. Since the December 2006 death of Niyazov, Turkmenistan’s leadership has made tentative moves to open up the country. His successor, President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow, repealed some of Niyazov’s policies, including banning operas and circuses for being “insufficiently Turkmen”, though other such rules were later put into place such as the banning of non white cars. Berdimuhamedow was succeeded by his son Serdar in 2022.
