In 2001 Niyazov issued a curious book called Ruhnama (which roughly translates as spiritual revival) and had it distributed every-where. It contains 400 pages of rambling revisionist history, homely philosophy and personal musings on Turkmenistan "inspired by God" but written by Niyazov. With officials comparing Ruhnama to the Koran, the book jumps from subject to subject like a rabbit, urging its readers to appreciate Turkmen traditions and be model citizens.
