Madamin beck

The Madamin Bek family lived in Margelan district, in the central part of the Ferghana region. In the spring of 1917, under the amnesty of the Provisional Government, Madamin Bek was released from prison, where he was serving his sentence (possibly for participating in the 1916 Uprising ) and settled in a village near Old Margelan . After moving to Old Margelan , he becomes chairman of the Muslim Workers Union. After the victory of the October Revolution, he became the chief of police of Old Margelan (12.1917 - 06.1918).

In the summer of 1918, Madamin Beck marries a woman from a wealthy family.

Having created a detachment of Uzbek policemen from the Muslim Muslim movement from his subordinates, Madamin Bek joined the Ergash-Kurbashi (Irgash-Bai) detachments, and from the summer of 1918 he fought with the Red Army . He was considered the deputy of Mullah Ergash-Kurbashi , but there were frictions between him and Ergash, and they acted inconsistently.

Since mid- 1919 he was recognized as the leader of national resistance ( emir-ul-musilman ), but Ergash-kurbashi did not recognize his supremacy.

Madamin Bek controlled in 1919 almost the entire Ferghana Valley, with the exception of major cities and railways. One of his opponents was the Peasant Army , led by Konstantin Monstrov , recruited from Russian settlers. However, due to a conflict with the Bolsheviks on August 22, 1919 Monsters entered into an alliance with Madamin Bek against the Red Army.

In the summer of 1919 he committed a bloody punitive raid on the Russian settlements of Ferghana.

On October 22, 1919 , a provisional Ferghana government was formed (Fargona muvakkat mukhtoriyat hukumati), which was headed by Madamin-bek, and Monsters became deputy. Under the auspices of this government, other units of the popular movement of Muslims, in particular Ergash units, united.

In February 1920, parts of the Red Army inflicted a serious defeat on Madamin Bek and in March 1920 surrounded his main forces (1,200 people). In March 1920, after difficult negotiations with representatives of the Musburo and personally the chairman of the regional revolutionary committee, Nizametdin Khodjaev, Madamin-bek entered into a peace treaty with the Soviet government and agreed to submit to it, after which he began to persuade other kurbashi to recognize the Soviet government. On March 6, 1920 , a peace treaty was signed, and on March 20, 1920 , a holiday and parade took place in Ferghana , in which Mikhail Frunze, commander of the Turkestan front, also took part.

After the conclusion of peace, Madamin Bek went to Tashkent to negotiate with the Soviet leaders, and was tasked with completing a diplomatic mission to persuade other Kurbashi to cooperate with the Soviet government.

Accompanied by a small detachment of guards, Madamin Bek went by invitation to the village of Dzhugar-Garbois to Kurbashi Sher Muhammad-Bek (also known as Kur-Shermat), who called himself “Amir Lyashkar Bashi” after Madamin Bek switched to the Soviet side authorities. By deceit, the detachment was lured into the village of Vuadil, where all the fighters, led by Madamin Bek and Commissioner Sergei Sukhov, were destroyed by a much superior enemy. For some time, the head of Madamin Bek was hauled on a spear by the Khal-Khoja gang until she died under an avalanche.

A large number of conflicting rumors spread about his death. The Soviet leadership blamed Sher Muhammad-bek for his death. His army partially became part of the Red Army.
