Inomjon Buzrukovich Usmonxoʻjayev (in Cyrillic Uzbek: Иномжон Бузрукович Усмонхўжаев ; in Russian: Инамджан Бузрукович Усманходжаев Inamdzhan Buzrukovich Usmankhodzhayev; 21 May 1930 – 17 March 2017) served as the eleventh First Secretary of the Communist Party of the Uzbek SSR. Usmonxoʻjayev became General Secretary following the disastrous "Cotton Scandal".
Usmonxoʻjayev's term
It was while Usmonxoʻjayev was General Secretary that satellite images showed that the Uzbek government's reports were false. Usmonxoʻjayev held his position throughout the scandal, serving as a puppet of Moscow as the Central Committee tried to strengthen its grip in Uzbekistan. Usmonxoʻjayev was General Secretary from 3 November 1983 until 12 January 1988. His replacement was Rafiq Nishonov.
On 12 January 1988, he was relieved of his duties as first secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Uzbekistan "in connection with his retirement", and on 24 May 1988, he was removed from the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR. On 28 November 1988, he was removed from the Central Committee of the CPSU "as having compromised himself."
He died on 17 March 2017 at the age of 86.
