We touched on Niyazov here before. I still love this tidbit about him, which is no longer on the BBC's country profile of Turkmenistan:

Mr Niyazov underwent major heart surgery in 1997, after which he quit smoking, ordered all his ministers to do likewise and banned smoking in public places. When Mr Niyazov started to go bald after the operation he resorted to Chinese herbal remedies, he said, to save his people from the "unpleasantness" of having a bald leader.

That was before my (Cellar) time.

On the TV show they showed a picture of him on an old bank note and commented on how he had, in the years since the note was printed, gone prematurely black.
