Zhumash Asanaliev was born on May 10, 1923, in the village of Otuz-Uul, now part of the Ak-Sui district. He was conscripted into the Red Army in 1942 by the Przhevalsk district military commissariat. On June 25, 1944, in a battle with the enemy, unwilling to surrender, he detonated himself and the surrounding fascists with his last grenade. By the decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR dated July 22, 1944, for the courage and heroism shown in the fight against the German fascist invaders, Asanaliev Zhumash was posthumously awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union.
