This paper describes the building of Rogun hydropower station and how Soviet and post-soviet governments have conveyed its benefits to different audiences. Tracing public discussions from the late Soviet period, the authors used archives, ethnographic and interview methods to investigate how citizens are affected ideologically, economically and politically by the project. The Rogun project is compared to dam-building processes in the Kyrgyz Republic. Authors argue that the Soviet roots of the projects, and seemingly the outcomes are similar in the two countries, despite different political processes and public levels of discussion and dissent in each country.
