Baku/01.09.23/Turan: Prominent Azerbaijani writer, doctor of philological sciences Chingiz Huseynov passed away in Jerusalem on 9 January at the age of 94.
Note that Chingiz Huseynov was born in Baku on 20 April 1929. He entered the philological faculty of Azerbaijan State University, and from the second year he transferred to Lomonosov Moscow State University, where he graduated in 1962. He attended postgraduate studies at the Institute of Oriental Studies of the USSR Academy of Sciences, where he defended his PhD thesis.
He was a consultant on national literatures in the Union of Writers of the USSR (1955-1972), deputy head of the Culture Department of the Academy of Social Sciences of the USSR.
Chingiz Huseynov is the author of the novel "Magomed, Mamed, Mamish", which brought him wide fame (1975). This is a novel about the man's lostness in a mafia state. It was actually an anti-Soviet work, which was translated into many languages and published abroad.
After that, Chingiz Huseynov wrote the novels "Fatal Fathali" (1983) and "Family Secrets" about the mafia power structures and the collapse of the USSR.
Recall that the computer novel "Directory Igra" ( 1996) is devoted simultaneously to interethnic conflicts in the country as a result of political games to seize power, and the struggle-game of the author with computer technology.
In Huseynov's works, the nature of the authoritarian regime in Azerbaijan is subjected to hidden criticism. For this reason, he was disliked by the country's authorities and criticised. -0-
