Anna was born in 1982 in the village of Min-Kush, located in the Jumgal district of the Naryn region. She currently lives in the village of Baktyu-Dolonotuu in the Issyk-Kul region and is a homemaker, although she previously worked as a hairdresser. She began her education at the N.K. Krupskaya school, and after moving in 1995 to Cholpon-Ata, she continued her studies at the Kirov school, where she graduated from the 11th grade.
Her mother, Elena, was born in 1958 in Moscow and moved to Kyrgyzstan at the age of three, after which her childhood was spent in Cholpon-Ata.
Her father, Shakhtor, was born in 1951 in Min-Kush and also spent his youth there.
After finishing school, Anna's mother went to Min-Kush to enroll in an educational institution. At that time, her father was already a well-known figure in the village, practicing karate and earning respect among the youth.
Anna was introduced to her parents by a friend with whom she shared a dormitory. After a few short meetings, they decided to get married. At a traditional ceremony in Cholpon-Ata, Anna's father "put on earrings" and took her mother away with him. Soon they had a wedding and started a family, in which four children were born: three daughters and a son," Anna recounts.
Anna got married at 19, when Oleg was 26. They met at one of the parties.
"Oleg has always treated me with care. He confessed his love during one of our meetings, almost by accident. We didn't have a big wedding, just a traditional matchmaking ceremony according to Russian customs," she recalls.
Oleg, who was born in 1975 and also comes from the village of Baktyu-Dolonotuu, always had the support of his parents in choosing Anna.
"At first, we lived with his parents, and it was difficult for me to adjust, as I found myself in a foreign family. Moreover, my mother-in-law initially didn't trust me too much because I am Kyrgyz. However, we soon became good friends," Anna continues.
Once, while discussing an important topic, Anna pondered, and Oleg asked her, "Are you thinking in Kyrgyz or Russian right now?". This phrase has since become a family joke.
Some traditions were not new to Anna, as her mother is Russian. However, Oleg's family customs surprised her: shared dinners and celebrating all events with family became an important part of their lives, and every gathering took place in a warm atmosphere," she shares.
The couple has been married for 24 years. At one point, they left their parental home and started living separately.
"At that time, we had three small children, and only Oleg was working. It was a tough time; sometimes we didn't have enough money even for the most essential things. But we believed in a better future," Anna says.
Today they have three wonderful adult daughters, their own home, and a car. "We have reached a level where we can afford many things," Anna adds.
"I dedicate all my free time to the home, which is a source of strength for me. Additionally, I am developing my blog on social media," she notes.
The couple plans to travel the world with their children, successfully marry off their daughters, and enjoy time with their future grandchildren.
