ABDURAHMONBEK ORAZAYEV
A well-known state and public figure. He was born in 1888 in the city of New Margilan (now Fergana) in the family of an official. Abdurahmonbek, like Mustafa Chokai's ancestors, goes back to the Kypchak clan of the Kazakhs on his father's side. His father - Muhammad Orazayev (died on May 10, 1898) was one of the nobles of Orta Juz, graduated from the 2nd Orenburg cadet corps and worked as a translator and secretary in the administration of Margilan district. Her mother is Niyozjon Bibikhanim, an Uzbek woman who was born in the village of Avval, Yangi Margilan district, Fergana region. After the death of her husband, she worked as a teacher. Young Abdurahmonbek's mother played a big role in his upbringing.
A.Orazayev graduated from Skobelev gymnasium (1910) and law faculty of Moscow University (1915). Worked as an assistant lawyer.
He was elected a member of the All-Russian Constituent Assembly from the Fergana electoral district (1917). When the Turkestan Autonomous Government was established in November 1917, he became the deputy minister of internal affairs and a member of the National Assembly. Then he worked as the Minister of Internal Affairs. He was a supporter of the Esers Party.
After the overthrow of the autocratic government by the Bolsheviks, A. Orazayev fell into the hands of the Bolsheviks at the end of February 1918. He was first amnestied in May 1918 and worked in various positions in the Soviet authorities.Orazayev was later exiled to Siberia. After he fell ill with tuberculosis there, he was allowed to return to the family of his relatives (sister) in Tashkent. She lived in the house of her son-in-law, a future academician, Qori Niazi. After living in Tashkent for a while, he died in 1937 as a result of a serious illness.
Abdurahmonbek Orazayev had two brothers and a sister. Not enough information about his personal life has been preserved.Orazayeva's sister: Ayshakhanim Orazayeva (September 2, 1897 - January 31, 1988) worked in Soviet schools like her mother. She was one of the first female teachers in Turkestan. She graduated from the women's gymnasium in Skobelev (now Fergana) and taught Russian at the Russian-Tuzem school in Namangan. Then she worked at the Soviet school in Skobelev. She married Tashmuhammad Niyozovich Qori-Niyazi (1897, Khojand - 1970, Tashkent), who later became a famous mathematician, scientist of Uzbekistan (1939), academician and first president of the Academy of Sciences of Uzbekistan (1943-1947), doctor of physics and mathematics (1939), professor, Hero of Socialist Labor (1967). After T.N. Kori-Niyazi graduated from the State University of Central Asia (1929), he became the rector of the same university (1931-1933), the People's Commissar of Education of the Uzbek SSR, and at the same time the chairman of the Presidium of the Scientific Committee under the USSR Academy of Sciences of Uzbekistan (1937-1938), Deputy Chairman of the USSR Academy of Sciences (1939-1943), Chairman of the Presidium of the Uzbekistan branch of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR (1940-1943) and worked in other responsible positions.
It is characteristic that Tashmuhammad and Ayshakhanim, who changed their biography a lot during the Soviet era in official documents, were born on the same day and in the same year - on September 2, 1897, one in Khojand and the other in Skobelev. During the Soviet regime, Kori-Niyazi, on the one hand, made a great contribution to the development of Soviet culture and science in Uzbekistan, and on the other hand, he dealt a severe and cruel blow to the spirituality and national culture of the Uzbek people.
