Biography
The born Khadija Muftizade was born in Tiflis to the family of the Azerbaijani Osman-bey Muftizade, a representative of the local Sunni clergy, and his wife from the Tatar family of the Teregulovs, who settled in Tiflis in the first half of the 19th century [1] . Gaibova received secondary education at the St. Nina's Gymnasium and simultaneously took piano lessons. In 1911 , after graduating from high school, 18-year-old Khadija married engineer Nadir Gaibov, son of the Mufti of the Caucasus Huseyn-effendi Gaibov and brother of the first Azerbaijani sister of mercy Nigar Shikhlinskaya . In subsequent years, Gaibova taught at the local female Russian-Muslim school [2] .
Before the October Revolution, Khadija Gaibova gained fame as one of the first performers of mugam (Azerbaijani folk music genre) on the piano. In 1919, the Gaibov family moved to Baku, where a year later Khadija Gaibov contributed to the foundation of the Azerbaijan State Conservatory . After sovietization, she headed the department of oriental music at the People's Commissariat of Education of the Azerbaijan SSR [3] . During these years, Gaibova taught music and acting lessons at women's education courses. In 1927-1931 she studied at the composer faculty of the Azerbaijan State Conservatory [2] .
In 1933, Gaibova was arrested and imprisoned on charges of counter-revolutionary activity. She was released after three months, and the charges against her were dropped. In 1934, she joined the research staff of the Azerbaijan State Conservatory for the Study of the Musical Heritage of Azerbaijan [2] .
On March 17, 1938, shortly after the arrest of her second husband Rashid Gaibov, Khadija Gaibova was again arrested and charged with having ties to the Musavatists . Over the next five weeks, she was summoned nine times for interrogation, until finally she was convicted of espionage. Gaibova herself did not admit her guilt. Her former cellmate Ziver Efendiyeva (wife of the repressed Azerbaijani party leader Sultan-Mejid Efendiyeva ) later recalled that Gaibova expected to be exiled to Siberia at the worst and even expressed confidence in continuing her creative activities in exile. However, on October 19, 1938, after a fifteen-minute court hearing, Gaibova was sentenced to capital punishment - execution [2] . The sentence was carried out in Baku a week later.
In 1956 , at the request of Alanga Sultanova, the daughter of Khadija Gaibova, the criminal case was reviewed and Gaibova was rehabilitated [2] .
