	Turkmenistan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The October Revolution of 1917 in Russia and subsequent political unrest led to the declaration of the Turkmen Republic as one of the 15 republics of the Soviet Union in 1924.
		President for Life Saparmurat Niyazov, a former bureaucrat of the Communist Party of the USSR, has ruled Turkmenistan since 1985, when he became head of the local branch of the Communist Party.
		President Niyazov has squandered much of his country's revenue on self-glorification, with cities, Ashgabat in particular, being given extensive renovations whilst the people living outside the capital struggle in conditions of poverty.
