Only the Norak Space Observatory which Russia plundered from Tajikistan is worth milliards of dollars. Russian's humanitarian aid through World Food programme is very new and as Russian says is "posle pozhar..." because simply Tajikistan is no more in need of that. But llok at the US: Only humanitarian assistance that US allocated through USAID since 1992 is more than 350 million dollars. Compare with Russia. The same applies to China and Japan, European countries, their assistances and investments are thousand times more than Russian empty promises. Russia promised to invest two millard dollars in Tajikistan's energy projects, but failed to implement it, because it has no strong position, always changed its position like a fox. No ally of Russia has ever benefitted from this country: Look at Milosevich of Bosnia, Najibulla of Afghanistan, Shevardnadze of Georgia, all of them have been left to their destiny by their "strategic friend" in the wors time. Russia is retreating from its engagement in Iranian nuclear programme like a prostitute, voting against Iran finally. What else one can expect from this state which has no firm position in international diplomacy??????

Yes. What is more, has anyone noticed that Russia's Muslim colonial subjects had to take massive name russification while non-Russian Christian peoples (Georgians, Armenians and Balts in particular) could often keep their own name forms? Of course, one can argue that is is the first time that a Soviet-shaped head of state is doing that -- Türkmenbaşi was a title btw, he did not use dit as a surrogate family name. And that is indeed a remarkable change, for until then, de-russianising names in Taj was st. that was primarily done by intelligenstia or people from (the) opposition (areas). “The Russian name-endings were colonialist inheritance.”
