In 1917 he joined the communist party. In 1918 he became chairman of the municipal committee of the Communist Party in Grozny and then commanded the Red Army in the North Caucasus in the fight against the White Army led by Lieutenant General Anton Denikin , which opposed the Soviet movement.

In 1929 he was the general secretary of the Communist Party of the Uzbek SSR from April to June , and from 1929 to 1930 he held the same function in the Azerbaijani SSR .
