Kazakh MP’s wife sparks debate with viral apartment tour on Instagram

Adel Adilova, wife of Mazhilis deputy Bakytzhan Bazarbek, has sparked curiosity by sharing a video tour of their apartments on Instagram. The video, which has been viewed over 370,000 times, has raised questions about its authenticity and the couple's living arrangements. Bakytzhan Bazarbek, born in 1981 and a law graduate of 2002, currently serves as a deputy in the Mazhilis. The apartments featured in the video are government housing provided to deputies and have been their residence since 2023. Adel Adilova, during the tour, displayed her husband's awards and mentioned the furniture is old. She stated that the video aims to show the reality of how a civil servant lives in Kazakhstan. However, some viewers have questioned why she chose to post the video and have raised doubts about its authenticity, citing a lack of public information confirming their residence in Astana. Bazarbek clarified an earlier statement, saying his work is 'worth 20 million tenge' in terms of volume, not monetary value. He obtained an MBA and multiple master's degrees from the Moscow International Higher Business School in 2013. The video tour of Bakytzhan Bazarbek and Adel Adilova's apartments has sparked debate and curiosity among viewers. While the couple aims to showcase their living arrangements as civil servants, questions remain about the video's authenticity and the couple's choice to share their personal space publicly.
