Aliya is the youngest daughter of the President of Kyrgyzstan, Diamondbek Atambayev. Aliya Shagieva talks about what it’s like to be the president’s daughter. What about personal life?
On April 11, Aliya Shagiyeva, the daughter of Kyrgyz President Alzambek Atambayev, posted a photo on Facebook in which she is breastfeeding her newborn son Tair in shorts. In the caption to the photo, Shagieva urged not to turn a woman’s breast into a sexual object, because it is intended primarily for feeding children. The girl also said that she would “get her breasts anywhere” when her child is hungry. The recording gained great popularity on social networks. We studied Shagieva's biography and her views on motherhood and women's rights.
The President of Kyrgyzstan Almazbek Atambayev has six children, two of them from his second marriage - son Kadyr and daughter Aliya. Aliya Shagieva is a graphic artist, she studied for some time at the Roerich Art School in St. Petersburg.
“All my life I have been called by my mother’s last name, now I even change my passport just so as not to see any interest in me because of family ties. You can ask my friends what psychological problems arose because of this... I remember at school there were cases when, knowing the answer alone in class, I deliberately did not raise my hand so that someone would not think that I was showing off.”
We tell you how the fate of the daughters of the most influential people on our planet turned out.
On June 19, Channel One showed the first episode of a documentary about Vladimir Putin, which was shot by the famous American director Oliver Stone. In one of the conversations with the creator of the film, our president spoke for the first time about his daughters, Maria and Catherine. According to Vladimir Vladimirovich, his children are far from politics and live an ordinary life.
“They are not involved in politics, they are not involved in any big business. They are engaged in science and education. They have their own family life, and we meet,” said Vladimir Putin. More details
This is where the head of state of our country limited himself to information about the lives of his children. And we decided to remember the daughters of presidents of other countries who do not hide their private lives.
Ivanka and Tiffany Trump
Daughters of US President Donald Trump
Donald Trump has five children. Daughter Ivanka and sons Donald Jr. and Eric are from his first marriage to model Ivana Trump, daughter Tiffany is from his second union with actress Marla Maples, and son Barron is from his current third wife, Melania Trump.
And if everything is clear with the sons of the US President: the elders work in his company, and the youngest is still in school, then with the daughters it is a different story. Ivanka and Tiffany have their own path. Moreover, Donald’s girls are the opposite of each other, but at the same time they are very friendly.
So, 35-year-old Ivanka In terms of popularity ratings, she is in no way inferior to her father and stepmother. She has been recognized more than once as the most beautiful, stylish and successful woman in the United States. And it seems that she has been striving for this all her life. Trump's eldest daughter received a bachelor's degree in economics from the University of Pennsylvania, then worked as a real estate manager and marketer for a jewelry company, and then created a brand for the production of accessories, clothing and shoes, Ivanka Trump Collection. Seeing his daughter's success, Donald made her vice president of his business empire, the Trump Organization. Next thing you know: the girl became her father’s right hand, helped him organize the election campaign and now decides political issues on an unpaid basis (!). Ivanka’s personal life is also arranged: she is married to businessman Jared Kushner and has three children.
But Trump's youngest daughter, 23-year-old Tiffany, is in the shadow of her older sister. However, one gets the impression that the girl does not strive for fame and success, being content with what she has. Last year she received a degree in sociology from the University of Pennsylvania, but does not work by profession. So far, her resume only includes an internship at a fashion magazine. But Trump Jr. attends social parties and blogs on Instagram.

Daughter of Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev
Ilham Aliyev and his wife Mehriban have three children. Son Heydar is 20 years old and studies at the university, the youngest daughter Arzu is 28 years old, she is happily married to Samed Kurbanov, the son of one of the founders of the All-Russian Azerbaijan Congress, and the eldest daughter Leila – 32, and she is extremely popular with the press. We'll tell you about it.
First of all, it is worth noting that the eldest daughter of the President of Azerbaijan has always been not only smart and beautiful, but also a very active girl. While still studying at MGIMO, she was the chairman of the Azerbaijani club, and in her last year at the university she became the editor-in-chief of the glossy magazine Baku. Moreover, now its publication is popular not only in its native Azerbaijan and Russia, but also in the UK!
Having received a diploma of higher education, Leyla was appointed chairman of the Azerbaijani Youth Organization of Russia, and then became vice-president of the charitable foundation of her grandfather Heydar Aliyev. But Leyla Aliyeva’s talents do not end there. In her free time from her main job, she directs films and writes poetry. By the way, not so long ago she released her first collection of poems.
But in her personal life, Leila was not entirely lucky. Her marriage to businessman and musician Emin Agalarov broke up in 2015 (nine years after the wedding). The couple has two children - twin boys Ali and Mikail, who live with their mother, but often see their father. And some time ago, Aliyeva became a mother for the third time, having adopted a girl, Amina, whom she met during a charity visit to an orphanage. More details
Kinga Duda
Daughter of Polish President Andrzej Duda
Andrzej Duda and his wife Agata Kornhauser-Duda are raising 22-year-old daughter Kingu. Despite her young age, the girl has already managed to attract the attention of the media and become one of the most talked about people in Poland. And all because she took part in her father’s election campaign and answered all the journalists’ questions incredibly touchingly and sincerely. True, Kinga does not want to make a career in politics yet. The girl studies at the Faculty of Law at the Jagiellonian University in Krakow, and in her free time she leads a normal student life: meets with friends, goes to cafes and cinema. At the same time, the daughter of the President of Poland does not let unnecessary people into her personal life: all her profiles on social networks are closed.
Alice Mary Higgins
Daughter of Irish President Michael Higgins
Michael Higgins has four children: sons Michael, John and Daniel, and Alice's 42-year-old daughter Mary. Surprisingly, only the daughter followed in her father’s footsteps. After graduating from University College Dublin, she became a lecturer and was later elected leader of the National Women's Council of Ireland and a board member of the European Women's Lobby. In 2016, Alice Mary was elected to the Irish Senate! In addition, the president’s daughter leads an active life on social networks, publishing messages and notes about her work and the country’s problems. But nothing is known about her personal life.
Aliya Nazarbayeva
Daughter of Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev
Nursultan Nazarbayev and his wife Sara Alpysovna have three daughters: 54-year-old Dariga, who works as Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic of Kazakhstan, 49-year-old Dinara, who heads the N.A. Education Foundation Nazarbayeva and is a shareholder of the People's Bank of Kazakhstan (in 2011, by the way, she became the richest woman in Kazakhstan with an income of $1.3 billion!), as well as 37-year-old Aliya, which is engaged in business and charity. The latter, we note, unlike her sisters, leads an active life on social networks, often gives interviews to glossy magazines and attends social events. Moreover, Nazarbayeva Jr. is known not only in her native Kazakhstan, but also beyond its borders. Perhaps this is due to the fact that she received her education abroad (in Germany, Switzerland and the USA) and in her youth declared that she did not want to connect her life with politics.
Recently, the Russian media received news about the secret wedding of the daughter of Almazbek Atambayev and her Russian boyfriend named Konstantin. 19-year-old Aliya notified her Instagram followers about this after the fact, publishing a series of photos from her honeymoon on Lake Issyk-Kul. Immediately after this, the president’s daughter was bombarded with a lot of negative comments from nationalist-minded compatriots. Although Konstantin is also a citizen of Kyrgyzstan, many ethnic Kyrgyz - usually men - are unhappy that Aliya chose a representative of a non-titular nation as her wife. The editor of ELLE contacted the “Kyrgyz princess” to find out the details of the wedding first-hand.
As Aliya Shagieva herself told us, the wedding, which was talked about only this week, took place August 27. The lovers celebrated the occasion in their native Bishkek, on the roof of the Skyhall restaurant. Contrary to established local traditions of celebrating lavish ceremonies with hundreds of guests, the presidential daughter and her fiancé decided to limit the celebration to a narrow circle of guests. Among the guests were friends and colleagues of Konstantin, Aliya’s girlfriends and relatives from both sides. Aliya also invited her elderly piano teacher, who, according to her, is like her own grandmother. There were 30 people in total, which by Central Asian standards is considered an indecently modest banquet.
But it was precisely this kind of quiet celebration that the newlyweds dreamed of. They decided to abandon conservative rituals and celebrate this important holiday in a modern European style. Everything was elegant, beautiful, without unnecessary pomp and exorbitant costs. A closed restaurant area on the 11th floor with a view of the capital, light jazz music in the background. No guest stars like Robbie Williams or crowds of journalists. The bride wore a dress with an open back and knee length. A distinctly minimalistic wedding dress without any elaborate decorations is also a kind of challenge to the canons, but the progressive, creative girl is no stranger to rebellion.
Although it should be noted that the artist got married with the approval of her family. When the young man proposed to her two months ago, parents on both sides, including the high-ranking father of the bride, joyfully accepted the news. “The reaction was very, very positive,” Aaliyah shared. “My parents have known Kostya for a couple of years now and have grown to love him.”
As it turned out, the newly-made son-in-law of the Kyrgyz leader was born in 1992 in Bishkek. Konstantin is a programmer by profession and does not like publicity or social gatherings. He met Aliya on the Internet four years ago. Then he was 20 years old, and the girl was only 15. “At that time I was blogging under a pseudonym,” Aliya recalls. - It was a sentimental diary of a teenage girl experiencing various difficulties. One day he wrote to me in the comments: “Good night, everything will be fine!”
This began their friendship, which over time grew into love and romantic relationships. When asked what attracted her to the young man, Aliya replies: “He is in many ways wiser than me and very caring.” This sensitive attitude of his towards his wife can be seen even from their photographs:
“Despite his mathematical mindset, Kostya is a creative person,” describes his wife Aliya. - Our common hobby is film photography. We also both love nature and love traveling through the gorge."
Those who suspect the newlywed in a relationship of convenience can be reassured by the daughter of the head of Kyrgyzstan - their union was concluded solely out of love. Konstantin learned her real name only a year and a half after they met. To fall in love with a girl, her nickname on the Internet was enough for him.
And Aliya never trumped her famous surname “Atambaeva”. Shortly before her marriage, she even changed it to her mother’s surname, becoming Shagieva this spring. This again happened due to the dissatisfaction of her fellow citizens, who reproached the young artist for taking advantage of her father’s position by launching her own clothing line. The fact that all proceeds from the sale of T-shirts were donated to a charity to treat children with cancer stopped few of the indignant commentators. So for Aliya, her last name and belonging to the family of a state leader is a painful topic.
Perhaps the people have inflated demands on the daughter of the head of state? Aliya does not rule it out. “However, I am glad that I published these photos,” she tells ELLE, “because for many of our girls experiencing social pressure, they can serve as a stimulus and inspiration for decisive changes in their lives.”
The daughter of the President of Kyrgyzstan, artist Aliya Shagieva recently became a mother. Aliya is accustomed to freedom, but her status as the president's daughter obliges her to adhere to a certain model of behavior that Aliya abhors.
While still pregnant, Aliya posted a photo online in her underwear, for which she was severely criticized. Negative subscribers argued that the president’s daughter cannot post something like this.

This time, Aliya posted a photo of herself breastfeeding her son Tahir, and again faced a lot of negativity.
Aliya responded to haters for criticism of her photo and wrote a long post on Facebook, emphasizing that a woman’s breasts are not an object of vulgarity and indecency.
“Women's breasts are not an object of vulgarity and indecency, as most of us believe. For a very long time people have forgotten about its true purpose and turned it into an object to please the gaze of men.”
“Society turns breasts into objects of sexuality, attractiveness, and then condemns women who resort to plastic surgery because their breasts are small / “not the same” shape / with large nipples.”
Aliya noted that she will do what is convenient for her, despite the disapproving glances of others: “I will absolutely calmly take out my breast anywhere when my child is hungry, be it a shopping center, a car interior or a bench in a public park.”
The young mother is sure that the shame and inconvenience that others experience at the sight of a woman feeding a child is just a corrupted way of thinking: “And if you see indecency in this, then I have news for you: your shame and your indecent thoughts are your problems, and we are only doing what nature has given us.”
