Nusratullo Makhsum

Nusratullo Maksum, commonly known as Nusratullo Lutfullayev, was a Tajik Soviet politician who lived from 1 July 1881 until 1 November 1937. The Order of the Red Banner was conferred upon him. He represented the Tajik Soviet Socialist Republic on the Central Executive Committee of the Soviet Union from 16 December 1926 to 28 December 1933. During the Great Purge, he received a firing squad death sentence. Maksum appeared on the 200 Tajikistani somoni currency following Tajikistan's independence from the Soviet Union.

He was chosen as one of the Chairmen of the USSR's Central Executive Committee after Tajikistan became a union republic (1931-1934). At a meeting of the Political Beaurou of the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks on December 5, 1933, the moderate stance of the Tajik leadership toward the rich farmers during the collectivization period was acknowledged as false. This resolution was followed by the dismissal of Abdurrahim Khodzhibaev and Maksum from their positions in the SNK SSR for "anti-party and in many cases anti-Soviet" policy at the fourth emergency session of the Central Executive Committee of the Tajik December SSR (27 1933).

In order to attend the All-Union Planning Academy, Maksum was dispatched to Moscow. Nusratullo Maksum was also posthumously restored by the Resolution of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR dated June 26, 1964. E. Rahmon was posthumously given the title "Hero of Tajikistan" by order of the president of the country (09.09.2006).
