Source-derived summary

Nuritdin Akramovich Mukhitdinov (Russian: Нуритдин Акрамович Мухитдинов, Uzbek: Nuritdin Akramovich Muhiddinov; 19 November 1917 [O.S. 6 November] – 27 August 2008) was a Soviet politician. Between 1957 and 1961 he was a member of the Presidium of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, significantly contributing to its relations with the Soviet republics and foreign countries in Asia. He was also the Soviet ambassador to Syria between 1968 and 1977.

Biography

Mukhitdinov was born in the village Allan near Tashkent in a family of Uzbek farmers. After finishing an Uzbek-language school, in 1934 he was sent to the University of Trade in Moscow. He graduated in 1938 and worked in the Communist Party system, first at a factory in Bukhara, Uzbekistan, and then with the Soviet Army in Ukraine. During World War II he participated in combat and was wounded at the Battle of Stalingrad. He was demobilized in 1946 to assume various party posts in Uzbekistan. In 1948 he became a member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party and the next year was awarded the Order of Lenin. His party career became volatile in the 1950s.

Editorial summary

Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Nuritdin Mukhitdinov” is soviet politician (1917–2008). The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Nuritdin, Mukhitdinov and Soviet, not as a finished interpretation.

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—1917, 2008, 1957, 1961—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1917-11-06. For this dossier, Nuritdin, Mukhitdinov and Soviet is the immediate research focus.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “soviet politician (1917–2008)” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Biographical claims are most persuasive when dates, appointments and relationships can be traced to records created close to the events described. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 25, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q350273. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1917, 2008, 1957 and 1961.

Critical limits

A concise life account rarely captures disputed attribution, private networks or the changing language used to describe a career. 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.
