Törökul Dschanuzakow ( Russian Торокул Джанузаков even Törökul Zhanuzakov, * 1893 in Taldy-Bulak, Talas region of origin in Kyrgyzstan , † 1921 ) was a Soviet politician and Deputy Chairman of the Central Executive Committee of the Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic of Turkestan , 1916 Chairman of the Commission for Refugees, one of the Main organizers and leaders of the Pan-Turkish Movement in Turkestan and a member of the secret political organization Turkestan National Union (TMB).

Life

Januzakov and the chairman of the Central Electoral Committee of the Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic of Turkestan, Turar Rysqulov , had been friends since childhood. Together they graduated from Merke boarding school in 1909. As the best graduate, Januzakov was accepted as an interpreter by the administration of the Governor General of Turkestan.

According to excerpts from Dmitry Furmanov's diaries , Januzakov took an active part in the 2016 uprising and was one of its leaders.

During the Soviet era, Janusakov was one of the founders and chairmen of the Refugee Commission that took care of the participants in the 1916 uprising. He managed to exempt the population suffering from the punitive actions of the Tsarist regime from taxes in order to provide sums of money and other material resources for the people of Turkestan. He investigated atrocities committed by the kulaks in the Chuy and Issyk-Kul valleys against the local Kyrgyz people. As a result of the investigation into the 1916 murder of 537 unarmed Kyrgyz - old men, women and children near the village of Belovodskoye - the organizers of this crime were sentenced to execution. Thanks to Januzakov's efforts, the refugees returned from China, and their land, which was occupied during and immediately after the uprising, was returned to its previous owners. However, his concerns about improving the situation of his compatriots were later interpreted as "distortions of land policy".

He took part in the Congress of the Peoples of the East , which was held in Baku in September 1920. There he led a delegation of the Turkestan peoples and presented a report. He was elected a member of the Permanent Council of Action and Propaganda in the East.

At the meetings of the Samarkand Turkestan National Union Congress, which took place from September 5th to 7th, the statutes of the society, consisting of 24 points and the flag of Turkistan were adopted. In the committee that prepared the national flag of Turkestan, Januzakov worked with Munevver Kari and Zeki Velidi Togan and a few others.

Parallel to his participation in the national liberation movement, Törökul Dschanuzakow was engaged in scientific research: he collected folklore, carried out archaeographic and ethnographic studies.

Januzakov was shot dead by the Cheka authorities in 1921 at the age of 28 .

Report of the authorized representative of the Cheka in the Turkestan Republic Jakow Peters before the Presidium of the Cheka from November 17, 1921:

"... We are serious. We had recruited one of those arrested ... gave him the opportunity to escape, and he is now in Fergana, in the most Basmachic area. Mentioned in the Januzakov report, who is perhaps the most responsible role in this case, was in Ferghana with the Basmachi the whole time. I instructed the agents to catch Januzakov at all costs and left quite a large sum of money for the purpose. The first attempt was unsuccessful, Januzakov managed to escape, but we arrested his briefcase with extremely important correspondence, the only problem being that the briefcase drowned in the river during the battle. Another attempt was successful. Januzakov was captured, but our detachment was attacked by the Basmachi on the way. For fear of losing Januzakov, the detachment killed him and we only received his body. Another day I received a telegram from Com. Eichmans that he managed to find his very valuable papers on the ulemist case, which will be sent to me in the near future. Although we were aware of the existence of an ulemist organization in Turkestan before the arrest of the aforementioned persons at the British and Japanese consuls, the question immediately arose: is this organization ulemist or have we captured elements of several organizations?
