Sharof Rashidovich Rashidov (1917-1983) was the First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Uzbekistan from 1959 until his death in 1983.
During his tenure the Uzbek SSR saw considerable economic growth and had a very high degree of autonomy from the rest of the Soviet Union.
He saw combat in the Battle of Moscow and was awarded two Order of the Red Star before being demobilized in 1943 after being severely wounded in the war. Having returned to Uzbekistan, he worked as editor of the Lenin yoli newspaper of Samarkand from 1943 to 1944.
Rashidov had strong support from Brezhnev, who in turn allocated resources to projects industrializing the Uzbek SSR.
For decades, the Uzbek SSR had an extremely high degree of autonomy compared to other republics in the union. After independence from the Soviet Union, Rashidov’s image was rehabilitated by Islam Karimov and Rashidov became celebrated as a symbol of Uzbek nationalism. In Jizzakh there is a museum dedicated to his memory.
