Life
Levon Mirsojan was born in 1896 in the small village of Ashan near Shusha in the now disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region. He came from a Christian Armenian farming family. Mirsojan went to Baku in 1912 to support revolutionary movements there. In 1917 he joined the Bolsheviks . From 1919 he began to take on numerous tasks in the Communist Party. As a result, he rose further and further in the party hierarchy. On January 21, 1926, he was finally appointed First Secretary of the CP of the Azerbaijani SSR , which was roughly equivalent to the post of Head of Government of Azerbaijan. He held this office until August 5, 1929. Then Mirsojan worked in the management of various district and regional committees in the Perm region .
From April 23, 1933 to May 23, 1938 he was the first secretary of the Communist Party in Kazakhstan. Kazakhstan was initially a republic of the Russian SFSR as the Kazakh ASSR , but then became a union republic within the Soviet Union as the Kazakh SSR in 1936 .
At the beginning of 1938, at the time of the Stalinist terror , Mirsojan wrote a letter to Josef Stalin and Vyacheslav Molotov , in which he criticized the deportation of the Soviet Koreans to Kazakhstan and also expressed doubts about the working methods of the NKVD . Shortly afterwards, Mirsojan was dismissed from his office, arrested, taken to a prison in Moscow and finally shot there on February 26, 1939.
In 1958 he was posthumously rehabilitated.
Others
From 1936 to 1938 the city of Taras was officially named "Mirsojan". In today's Kazakh capital Nur-Sultan (until 2019 Astana) a street is still named after him. Levon Mirsojan was also a holder of the Order of Lenin .
