Life

Nazaraliev was born on 8 May 1961 in the city of Tokmok, Chüy oblast, Kyrgyzstan. Since he was born the day before Victory day, his parents named him Jenish (meaning "victory" in Kyrgyz). His father was a psychiatrist and his mother was a teacher. Nazaraliev has three brothers (two older, one younger), and two younger sisters.

Since his father was sent to work at a dispensary in Osh, Nazaraliev spent his childhood there, finishing Russian primary school #16. When he was young, he was very interested in sports, and practiced free-style wrestling and Karate.

In 1984, he graduated from the Bishkek National Medical Institute. At first he worked at a psycho-neurological dispensary, and then worked in Moscow for a while. After five years of practice, he opened his own narcological center, realising one of his dreams.

In 1989, he received fame from publishing an article called "Змиелов" ("Snake-catcher" in Russian) in the newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda.

Nazaraliev worked in Moscow from 1991 to 1993.

Upon his return to Bishkek, he opened the first private narcological clinic, and works there to this day. He uses atropine comas and other outdated methods.[1]

Nazaraliev is the father of a daughter and a son.
