The case evokes memories of the days when the KGB’s influence was pervasive, and dissidents across Eastern Europe and Soviet lands like Turkmenistan lived in fear. Hadjiev and his family fled to Europe in 2001, escaping one of the world’s most repressive regimes: the absolutist dictatorship of the late Saparmurat Niyazov, who fancied himself “Turkmenbashi,” the father of all Turkmen.
这一案件勾起了人们对克格勃的影响力无处不在的那个时代的回忆。那时整个东欧和如土库曼斯坦这样的苏联土地上的持不同政见者都生活在恐惧之中。Hadjiev和他的家人在2001年逃到欧洲，以躲避世界上最严酷的政权之一：已故的，自诩为“Turkmenbashi（土库曼之父）”的Saparmurat Niyazov的专制主义独裁政权。
