Nadezhda Davydovna Tokayeva (Kazakh: Надежда Давыдқызы Тоқаева, romanized: Nadejda Davydqyzy Toqaeva, Russian: Надежда Давыдовна Токаева [nɐˈdʲeʐdə dɐˈvɨdovnɐ tʰəkʰɐjeva]; born 23 January or 27 September 1958) is the ex-wife of the second president of Kazakhstan, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev.[2][3]

Early life and education

[edit]

Tokayeva was born in Nizhny Tagil in Russia's Sverdlovsk Oblast.[3] She graduated from the Moscow State Institute for History and Archives.

Career

[edit]

She served as the honorary president of the United Nations Women's Guild in Geneva from 2011 to 2012.[4][3]

Personal life

[edit]

At the time of taking office as President of Kazakhstan, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev was divorced from Nadezhda, as indicated on the official website in March 2019.[5][3] It is presumed that the divorce took place between 27 and 29 March 2019.[1]

Together with her ex-husband, she has a son, Timur (born 15 February 1984).[4]

In 1998, she and her son Timur opened a Credit Suisse bank account, even though she qualified as a politically exposed person, which at its height in 2005 contained $1.5 million. After her husband became director-general of the United Nations’ Geneva office, the account was closed in 2012, and the family opened offshore companies in the British Virgin Islands, with $5 million in assets plus properties in Geneva and Moscow at $7.7 million.[6]
