Early Life and Education
Yadgar Sadykovna Nasriddinova was born on December 26, 1920, in Kokand. This area was part of the Turkestan Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, which is now Uzbekistan. Her father passed away before she was born. Her mother, who was only 13, named her "Yadgar," a name often given to orphans.
Yadgar and her mother had to move to another village. Her mother remarried, but Yadgar's stepfather did not want her. When she was six years old, her stepfather left her by the side of the road. Kind people helped her, and she lived with different families until she was 11.
In 1931, she was placed in one of the first orphanages in Uzbekistan. She then went to a vocational school. She continued her studies and graduated as an engineer from the Tashkent Institute of Railway Transport Engineers in 1941.
Starting Her Career in Engineering
After finishing her studies in October 1941, Nasriddinova began working as an engineer. She worked on the Tashkent Railway while also continuing her advanced studies. She was a foreman on the Katta-Kurgan Reservoir project. The next year, she led a team that built a railway line. This line connected Tashkent to the Angrenugol Mine.
In 1942, she joined the Communist Party. She became the Secretary of the Central Committee of the Komsomol for Uzbek schools. The Komsomol was a youth organization linked to the Communist Party. Around this time, she married Siroj Nuritdinov, who was a war veteran and a party leader.
Rising in Politics
In 1946, Yadgar Nasriddinova became the First Secretary of the Komsomol for the Tashkent Region. After graduating in 1947, she continued to advance in the Komsomol and local party roles. By 1952, she was leading the Ministry of Industry in Uzbekistan.
Three years later, she was chosen as the deputy chair of the Council of Ministers of the Uzbek SSR. In 1959, she became the Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Uzbek SSR. This was a very important leadership role.
At the same time, in 1959, she was also elected as the Deputy Chair of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union. This meant she held a high position in the government for the entire Soviet Union.
Moving to Moscow and Later Life
Nasriddinova moved to Moscow in 1970. There, she became the Chair of the Soviet of Nationalities of the USSR. This council represented the different ethnic groups within the Soviet Union.
In 1974, her term ended. She was offered to continue in her role, but a political rival, Sharof Rashidov, made accusations against her. These accusations were not investigated at the time. She was then appointed to less powerful positions, like Deputy Minister for the USSR Building Materials Industry.
Nasriddinova retired in 1979. She stayed in Moscow because her children lived there, and her husband had passed away in 1966. Throughout her career, she received many honors. These included the Order of Lenin four times and the Order of the Red Banner of Labour twice.
Later Accusations and Clearing Her Name
After the deaths of Soviet leaders Leonid Brezhnev and Sharof Rashidov in the early 1980s, investigations began into past corruption. In 1987, a newspaper article accused Nasriddinova of taking a large bribe. It also claimed she had used state money for her son's wedding.
In 1988, formal charges were brought against her. She lost her party membership and her pension. However, in December 1990, the charges were dropped because there was not enough evidence. In 1991, she was officially cleared of all wrongdoing. Her party membership and pension were restored. Nasriddinova always said she was innocent and that the accusations were false.
Death and Legacy
Yadgar Nasriddinova passed away in Moscow on April 7, 2006. She was buried in the Kuntsevo Cemetery. She is remembered as a pioneering woman in Soviet politics.
