Mimpi orang Afghanistan adalah Tajikistan, karena Tajikistan berlimpah listrik dan perempuan. Mimpi orang Tajikistan adalah Rusia, karena di sana banyak lapangan kerja dan uang. Mimpi orang Rusia adalah Amerika Serikat, karena di sana penuh gemerlap modernitas dan kebebasan. Lalu, apa mimpi orang Amerika? Mereka yang berada di puncak dari segala mimpi, ternyata masih punya mimpi yang lebih tinggi lagi--pergi ke luar angkasa....

Tajikistan's national library, the biggest in Central Asia. It opened in 2012 and covers an area of forty-five thousand square meters over nine floors. It has room for ten million books and, in order to fill all the shelves, each household was asked to donate books for the opening. Journalists who have been inside said there are only books in one of the halls; in the rest the shelves stand empty.

They can be divided three ways: those that are neutral, the pro-Western group and the pro-Russian camp. The neutral countries – Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan – are those with fewer reasons to ally themselves with Russia or the West. This is because all three produce their own energy and are not beholden to either side for their security or trade. In the pro-Russian camp are Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Belarus and Armenia. Their economies are tied to Russia in the way that much of eastern Ukraine’s economy is (another reason for the rebellion there).

So we, God’s servants, go, our Master’s invitation in our hands, out to the highways and hedges. We walk through squalid refugee camps in Syria, fetid open-air trash dumps in Mozambique, drug-infested smoky brothels in Bangkok. We go because deep in the Pamir Mountains of Tajikistan and out on the dusty plains of Iraq, there are people whom God wants to come to His feast. There are people hidden away in small villages in Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan who belong at God’s table. There are women in Somalia; street kids in Portland, Oregon; girls in northern Nigeria; and men in Chechnya and a thousand other places who belong in God’s house. God sees them, every one of them, people drawing water from open wells, drinking tea in mud houses, scheming evil in dark camps, hiding from violence in rough caves. He knows their names and faces and voices and laughter and tears. He knows their fears and dreams and joys and sorrows. He was there when they were born, when they fell down, and when they got up—and He wants to share the blessings of all He has with them. This is the heart of God—generous, loving, kind, patient—always ready to bless. He’s prepared His table from the foundations of the earth, and there is still room.

stood like this for an hour, maybe two. The train snaked through the desert and steppe at forty or fifty kilometres an hour. Kazakhstan covers an area of 2,724,900 square kilometres, which is bigger than Western Europe. It is the ninth largest country in the world, and the largest one without a coast. And there, by the dusty train window, I started to realise just how big 2,724,900 square kilometres is. Kazakhstan is more than twice the size of the four other Central Asian countries combined. The Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic, today’s Kazakhstan, accounted for twelve per cent of the total area of the Soviet Union, which was a staggering 22,402,200 square metres. By comparison, Russia is currently 17,075,200 square kilometres. In other words, Kazakhstan alone accounts for more than half the territory lost by Russia in the breakup of the Soviet Union.

In Samarkand and Bukhara, both in Uzbekistan, the main language is Tajik.

The Soviet cartographers did not have an easy task of creating order out of the Central Asian patchwork of different peoples, languages and clans. Until 1924, the Russians treated Central Asia as one big region which they called Turkestan - the land of the Turks - as most people who lived there spoke Turkic languages.

In 1941, a group of Soviet archeologists opened the grave to inspect Timur Lenk's remains. His coffin bore the following inscription: "When I rise from the dead the world shall tremble". It is said that they found another inscription inside the coffin: Whosoever opens my tomb shall unleash an army more terrible than I". Two days after the archeologists opened the tomb, Hitler invaded the Soviet Union.

This brings us to Tibet and its importance to China. The Himalayas run the length of the Chinese–Indian border before descending to become the Karakorum Range bordering Pakistan, Afghanistan and Tajikistan. This is nature’s version of a Great Wall of China, or – looking at it from New Delhi’s side – the Great Wall of India. It cuts the two most populous countries on the planet off from each other both militarily and economically.

We the Muslim youth are responsible for everything happening to the Muslim Ummah. We are seeking more of this rubbish life such as satellite dishes and other desires like a car, salary, house and a wife. Obesity has increased among us and now we have bellies of 5 - 10 meters. Discussions and arguments increased and we left something immense by which Allah gave glory to the Sahaba, who were rough Bedouins with bear feet. We have no solution but to be truthful with Allah and be sincere in dealing with the issues of the Muslims and to prepare ourselves. If Allah knows that we are sincere then he will favor us again.

Władze nie zatroszczyły się o zabezpieczenie dwustu pięćdziesięciu tysięcy nasion, jednak pracownicy Instytutu zajęli się tą sprawą. Wyselekcjonowane nasiona przenieśli do dużej skrzyni i ukryli w piwnicy, gdzie na zmianę trzymali straż. Ani jeden z pilnujących nie uległ pokusie zjedzenia nasion, chociaż dziewięciu z nich zmarło z głodu przed zakończeniem oblężenia w 1944 roku.

Russia’s seizure of Tajikistan in 1868, for example, was not reversed until the unraveling of the USSR in 1991. Similarly, the U.K.’s seizure of present-day Nigeria in 1885 was not reversed until 1960.19 Throughout the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, land that was seized was generally recognized as legally obtained and retained by the conquering state. Might, after all, made Right. Then, in 1931, states began to refuse to recognize conquests. Forceful transfers of land still occurred, but for the first time they went unrecognized. Even more remarkable, with the exception of Taiwan, all the unrecognized transfers of territory between 1928 and 1949 were later reversed.

For critics, tours of industrial facilities and model collective farms organized for visitors from abroad and particularly the developing world had all the hallmarks of Catherine the Great touring the Potemkin villages—facades of model villages created for the empress to behold as she toured her empire. Yet as Michael David-Fox writes, Potemkin villages, in the sense that the term is popularly understood—hastily constructed temporary facades erected to create an illusion—simply did not exist. Rather, the villages had been decorated in advance of Catherine’s visit. The trope of Potemkin villages was born out of diplomatic strife and revived by the USSR’s enemies in the twentieth century as a way to disparage Moscow’s presentation of its achievements to the outside world.
