Akmal Ikramowitsch Ikramow ( Russian Акмаль Икрамович Икрамов ; Uzbek Akmal Ikromovich Ikromov ; * 1898 in Tashkent , Russian Empire ; † March 13, 1938 in Moscow , Soviet Union ) was an Uzbek - Soviet politician of the Uzbek party from 1929 to 1937 and the Communist General of the SS .

Life

Ikramov was born in 1898 to an Uzbek family in Tashkent , which was then part of the Russian Empire. In 1918 he joined the Communist Party . In 1922 he went to Moscow and studied at the Sverdlov Communist University . In 1925 he became secretary of the Communist Party in the newly founded Uzbek Soviet Socialist Republic and was also editor-in-chief of the magazine "Kommunist" for a while.

In 1929 he finally rose to become the first secretary of the Communist Party of the Uzbek SSR, so he was de facto head of government in Soviet Uzbekistan. He was the first ethnic Uzbek in this post, which he held until 1937. In 1930 his predecessor Isaak Selensky tried to depose him, but Ikramov was able to stay in office.

In mid-1937 he, like many other communists of the first hour, was arrested in the course of the Great Terror instigated by Stalin . He was accused of anti-Soviet, Trotskyist activities. He was sentenced to death in the third Moscow trial and shot on March 13 (according to other sources, March 15), 1938.

In 1957 he was posthumously rehabilitated.
