Gold medal for  at the 2019 World Wrestling Championships. Not sure if this was their first ever gold medal, but it's still worth a shot.

it's their first Gold since the Independence...

 

but when they were under the Soviet Union, they won World and Olympic Gold medals thanks to Kanybek Osmonaliyev (4 world titles and the 1980 Olympic Gold medal for him) in Weightlifting and thanks to Andrey Kurnyavka in Boxing (1989)...

 

meanwhile Orzubek Nazarov was for quite a while WBA Lightweight world champion in PRO Boxing from 1993 through 1998...

Great information!

Now, at least, we can rest assured that all of the the post-Soviet states have won gold medals at the World Championships in any sport.

I was in doubt about   and , but they all got gold medals too ( in athletics,  in weightlifting,  in wrestling and archery),

Do you mean ?  has two medals in athletics in 1993 and 1995. I can't see such old results being modified.

EDIT:  gold medal in weightlifting is also from 1993.
