Life

Sara Aşurbəylis Birthplace and Residence, 148 Widadi Street, Baku

Aşurbəyli was the daughter of the oil industrialist and patron Balabəy Aşurbəyli from the Afshar tribe, who had the architect Józef Gosławski build a magnificent house in Baku Widadi Street in 1904 . She had four sisters and one brother. They received a good classical education. After the Red Army marched into Baku on April 27, 1920 , the family emigrated to Turkey . Aşurbəyli attended the Collège Jeanne D'Arc in Istanbul , which she graduated with honors in 1925.

After the introduction of the New Economic Policy (NEP) , the family returned to Baku. Aşurbəyli began in 1925 to study at the Azerbaijan State University in Baku, she in the 1930 History Department of Oriental Studies - Faculty graduated.

After graduating, Aşurbəyli became an employee of the Azerbaijan History Museum in Baku. Until 1933 she worked in the Department of History and Ethnography . She was involved in the design of exhibitions and a travel guide in which she presented the different nationalities in Azerbaijan.

Aşurbəyli's father had been expropriated. He was later arrested and exiled to Karaganda , so that Aşurbəyli was now the daughter of an enemy of the people . During the Great Terror he was arrested in Karaganda by the NKVD on March 25, 1937 and sentenced on August 17, 1937 to the maximum penalty, ie death by shooting, under Article 58 of the Criminal Code of the RSFSR .

Aşurbəyli was no longer able to work in her field because of her origin, so she made her way as a teacher at the grammar school and as a foreign language teacher at the Baku Music Academy . She had been passionate about art since her youth . She played the piano and loved the music of Üzeyir Hacıbəyov , Fikrət Əmirov and Frédéric Chopin and liked to listen to the tenor Bülbül. She completed her studies at the Əzim-Əzimzadə art school in Baku, graduating in 1941. Her thesis was a still life . During the German-Soviet war she worked as a set designer at the Azerbaijan Theater in Baku. In October 1942 her husband Bachram Gusseinsade was arrested and, like her father, sentenced to death by shooting, but in 1943 the sentence was changed to 10 years imprisonment. Aşurbəyli became a member of the Union of Artists of Azerbaijan in 1946. Her early works remained in her possession and have been preserved. Your most important paintings are The Palace of Shaki Khans and the lake Goygol . Her largest picture (96 × 200 cm 2 ) again depicts Lake Göygöl and was given to the Museum of the History of Azerbaijan in 1956.

Aşurbəyli wrote a candidate dissertation , which she successfully defended in 1949 at the Leningrad Institute of Oriental Studies. In 1956, thanks to Səməd Vurğun's help, she managed to become the head of the Middle Ages department of the Museum of History of Azerbaijan, where she worked as a historian until 1958. Then she moved to the Institute of Oriental Studies of the Academy of Sciences of Azerbaijan . In 1964 she defended her doctoral dissertation at the Institute of History of the Academy of Sciences of Georgia , whereupon she received her doctorate in historical sciences in 1966. From 1993 she worked at the Institute of Archeology and Ethnography of the Academy of Sciences of Azerbaijan.

Aşurbəyli's research work focused on the history of Baku and the state of the Shirvanshahs as well as the economic and cultural ties between Azerbaijan and India in the Middle Ages. She wrote about 100 historical articles for the Azerbaijani Soviet Encyclopedia . She edited the Russian translation of the English history of Shirvan and Darband by Vladimir Fyodorovich Minorsky . She translated Friedrich August Marschall von Bieberstein's French description of the provinces on the east side of the Caspian Sea into Russian and also a work Əbdürrəşid Bakuvis , published in Paris in 1789 .

Aşurbəyli found that Azerbaijan was already settled by Turks in the time of the Huns . The Soviet-Russian ethnologist Viktor Alexandrowitsch Schnirelman contradicted this , according to which, in accordance with the globally accepted idea, the Turkishization of Azerbaijan in the 11th – 13th centuries Century took place.
