Russian language does not control every aspect of social life, that is a big lie, and one does not become democratic by accepting a foreign language, and finally you have no idea about Turkmen language if you think it is insufficient, read some Turkmen literature like B. Kerbabayev. I am not against learning Russian language though. no one said we should promote Turkmen language by printing Ruhnama, and it is a fact, even if you don’t want to admit, majority of Turkmenistan speaks Turkmen, so why should we abandon our own language to some foreign language?

Russian has always been and remains a second language for ethnic Turkmen. Is the fact that many Turkmen are bilingual a 'problem'? Young students are taught Turkmen, Russian, and English in school (or German if the programs survived). Instead of eliminating their widely-used second language and struggling to teach the young generations English, wouldn't it benefit Turkmenistan to retain Russian as a regional language?
