He received a higher medical education, had a medical practice and founded his own clinic in Grozny. He got married, the family had three children. The 1917 revolution changed his life in many ways. He was forced to emigrate with his family to France. The article analyzes the professional and socio-political life of Izmail Shakov in exile, describes his family life in Grozny, Nalchik and Paris. Separately, the authors examine Shakov's social circles in Paris (Muslim, Russian and Caucasian). A granddaughter Fatima was born in Paris, who married an American. The couple moved to the United States where for permanent residence. Since that time, a new page in the life of the Shakovs begins. The great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren of the Shakovs, who were born in the United States became Americans. The descendants have lost their Kabardian roots and national and religious identity. The authors analyze the reasons for the current situation.
