Source-derived summary

Musa Serhoievych Mahomedov (Ukrainian: Муса Сергоєвич Магомедов; born 7 April 1970) is an Avar-born Ukrainian entrepreneur and politician currently serving as a People's Deputy of Ukraine from Ukraine's 45th electoral district, including the cities of Avdiivka and Yasynuvata and parts of the city of Donetsk, since 2019. He was previously director of the Avdiivka Coke Plant from 2012 to 2019, managing the plant during the height of the war in Donbas. He is the Chairman of the Subcommittee on Industrial Policy of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Economic Development.

Early life and business career

Musa Serhoyevych Mahomedov was born on 7 April 1970 in the town of Irib, Dagestan. He graduated from the Donetsk Institute of Soviet Trade (now known as the M. Tugan-Baranovsky Donetsk National University of Economics and Trade), as well as the International Management Institute in Kyiv and the Kharkiv Polytechnic Institute, and began working in production in 2003.

In 2012, Mahomedov became director of the Avdiivka Coke Plant. His tenure was particularly notable for the Battle of Avdiivka during the war in Donbas, after separatists of the Donetsk People's Republic shelled the plant, resulting in a temporary loss of power to the city. Following the battle, he assisted with the reconstruction of Avdiivka, including rebuilding the city's sewage system.

Political career

Mahomedov ran in the 2019 Ukrainian parliamentary election for Ukraine's 45th electoral district, succeeding Yukhym Zvyahilsky, the longest-serving People's Deputy at the time of his retirement. A member of the same Opposition Bloc party that Zvyahilsky had been part of prior to his retirement, Mahomedov won the district with 64.6% of the vote.

Editorial summary

“Musa Mahomedov” enters the record as ukrainian politician. Crown Archives preserves that source wording while asking what Musa, Mahomedov and Ukrainian can confirm, complicate or overturn.

Editorial reviewA productive starting point for separating a subject’s documented career from later reputation and commemoration. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1970, 2019, 2012, 2003—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1970-04-07. Its strongest next move is a source search built around Musa, Mahomedov and Ukrainian.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Musa Mahomedov” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Musa, Mahomedov and Ukrainian provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 10, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q66972269. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1970, 2019, 2012 and 2003.

Critical limits

Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Read biographical claims against dates, named institutions and the cited references. Distinguish a subject’s later reputation from evidence produced during their lifetime.
