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 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.
