He obviously speaks to the western audience, that has no clue of other realities; he uses simple, dramatic words; he wants to touch hearts of the westerners. He is biased. In a way, that he comes with his own measurements of good and bad, and shows how BAD Turkmenistan is. Yes, life is not very sweet at times. But the way he says things are not changing or changing only to the negative, sounds as if he is surprised. I would be surprised if anything changed this fast. How can people be so naive and expect whoever in the administration to bring about massive changes?! I don’t understand, how Mr. Ostrovski expects things to change overnight.
