"It's been two years since Saparmurat Niyazov - the deeply perverse dictator of Turkmenistan, died. At the time of his death, Turkmenbashi ('father of the Turkmen') as he preferred to be known, was on the brink of global superstardom… [photographer Nicolas Righetti's book] Love Me Turkmenistan presents a glimpse of the [dictator's] personality cult at its peak."
