Roza Isakovna OTUNBAEVA was born in 1950 in Osh, in what was then the Kyrgyz Socialist Soviet Republic, one of the constituent republics of the USSR.

It’s a week since I last wrote a postcard about the recent events here in Kyrgyzstan … and as the former British Prime Minister, Harold Wilson, once commented, “A week is a long time in politics.” It has certainly been a long week … an eventful week.
