According to a study by «Proekt», Vladimir Putin and Alina Kabaeva were abroad at the same time at least once — in Kazakhstan in February 2017. They flew there separately, and the publication links the timing coincidence to Putin’s informal meetings with Nursultan Nazarbayev near Almaty.

Uzbek financier Kahramonjon Olimov was remanded in custody in absentia in Uzbekistan and declared internationally wanted in a kidnapping case. In the summer of 2025, he himself claimed that he had been kidnapped and tortured in France.

The daughter of Uzbekistan’s first president, Islam Karimov, is once again in the spotlight of the world’s media. She has been summoned to a Swiss court in a corruption case. Bringing this case to a close would make it possible to return about a billion dollars to the country’s state budget. But in Tashkent they refused even to temporarily release Karimova from prison. The reason may not be only about money: many representatives of today’s Uzbek elite began their careers back under Islam Karimov and were, in one way or another, connected to his daughter. Her testimony is more dangerous for them than the loss of a billion.
