In his youth, he was capable, as a student he got a job in the Ministry of Communications of the Kirghiz SSR as an engineer-economist. He worked part-time by translating books by Kyrgyz writers into Russian, the man himself told about this in an interview.

Received a diploma of higher education in 1980. At the same time, he was moving up the career ladder, was soon promoted to a leading economist, and later transferred to the road maintenance department No. 4, becoming a chief engineer.

In the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Kyrgyz SSR, Almazbek began working in 1983, and in various positions. And after 6 years, leaving the civil service, he took up entrepreneurship. But already in 1993 he again made itself felt, becoming the initiator of the creation of the SDPK party.

In 2000, he first put forward his own candidacy for the post of President of Kyrgyzstan, but, having collected only 6% of the vote, he again switched to other activities. The man was doing so well that in 2004, after calculating the accumulated fortune of Atambayev, he was included in the list of the 100 richest people in the country.

Almazbek Sharshenovich made a new attempt to become president of Kyrgyzstan in 2011, this time more people were on the side of the politician. Having gained the maximum percentage of votes, in the winter of 2011 he took office as head of the Kyrgyz Republic. The man stayed in this post until 2017, the assessments of the work carried out by Atambayev contradict each other.

During the years of his reign, the man acquired a multimillion-dollar army of like-minded people among the inhabitants of the country. But exactly the same number of people wanted his resignation. Sooronbai Jeenbekov took the position of the head, vacated after 6 years.

In the biography of Almazbek Sharshenovich as president, there are many scandalous stories, including those related to personnel appointments and the receipt of high state positions by persons who are in the circle of the man's personal service (security guards, drivers, bodyguards and others), and then with criminal cases, in which many of them were accused.

The last year of Atambayev's rule was marked by numerous criminal and civil proceedings initiated by the authorities against human rights defenders, journalists and oppositionists. In some, the former president was personally involved.

When Almazbek Sharshenovich left his post, investigations began against him, by a decision of the parliament, his political immunity was removed and a case was opened on charges of corruption.

The security forces failed to arrest the ex-president for the first time; together with his supporters, the man gave them a tough rebuff, taking the commandos hostage. But a day later, on August 8, 2019, Atambayev surrendered to the authorities and was detained. At the same time, he refuses to admit his guilt.

Information about Atambayev's personal life is freely available on the Web. From his first marriage with his wife Boishar, the man has four children - twin daughters and two sons. This relationship ended in divorce, and in 1988 Almazbek got married again.

This time, Doctor of Medical Sciences Raisa Atambayeva became his wife, who gave her husband a son and daughter. In the profile of a man on Instagram, photos with his family rarely appear, there are much more pictures from work meetings, for example, with Vladimir Putin and heads of other states.
