Shaidulla Kh. Kamzinov

He was born in the Kazakh city of Pavlodar, into an international family. The boy was given the rare name Shaidulla, which means "one who sacrifices himself in the name of Allah." This ancient name was chosen according to the local custom by his Kazakh grandmother. At the age of four, he moved with his parents and brother Sayan to live in the village of Zozulynky, in the Vinnytsia region, to the ancestral homestead of his Ukrainian grandparents. Unfortunately, his father later left the family, and his brothers were raised by their stepfather, along with their mother, both of whom worked as teachers. Knowing Kazakh and Russian, Shaidulla quickly assimilated into the community and learned Ukrainian. He graduated from the Zozulynky secondary school, served his mandatory military service in a military unit stationed in Chernivtsi.

His wife, Tetiana, worked as a mail carrier, together they raised two children: their son Eduard and daughter Ilona, and took care of their parents. Shaidulla was hardworking and persistent. Together with his wife, he was constantly concerned about how to plow, what to sow, what to sell. His hands were always covered in calluses from daily work. In addition, he was passionate about tourism, in particular, he conquered Mount Hoverla. He would probably have reached old age, enjoyed his grandchildren, worried about selling potatoes, what to give his children. But, unfortunately, this did not happen.
