Turkmenbashi the Bastard
Saparmurat Niyazov, the leader of Turkmenistan, ordered to stop paying pensions to more than 100,000 old people, that is, to approximately 1/3 of retired. Other 200,000 people will get their pensions, which ranged from $10 to $90, cut more than by half.
Can this man do anything wrong, though?
nistaninstead of Turkmenistan. Cutting the pensions seems a bastardly thing to do, even for a guy as loopy as the 'Bashi.
