He succeeded Filipp Goloshschyokin as leader during the Soviet-imposed Kazakh Famine of 1930–1933, also known as the Goloshchyokin Genocide, in which at least 1.3 million ethnic Kazakhs died, an estimated 38 to 42 percent of all Kazakhs: the highest percentage of any ethnic group killed by the Soviet famine of 1930–1933. Historians have mixed evaluations of his term, both as a perpetrator of brutal policies against starving Kazakhs and the man who oversaw the nation's recovery.","summary_more":[],"facts":[{"key":"born","label":"Born","values":[{"text":"18 November 1897","date":"1897-11-18"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q983603#P569"}},{"key":"birthplace","label":"Place of birth","values":[{"text":"Heşan","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2583066"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q983603#P19"}},{"key":"died","label":"Died","values":[{"text":"26 February 1939","date":"1939-02-26"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q983603#P570"}},{"key":"deathplace","label":"Place of death","values":[{"text":"Moscow","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q649"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q983603#P20"}},{"key":"citizenship","label":"Citizenship","values":[{"text":"Russian Empire","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q34266"},{"text":"Soviet Union","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q15180"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q983603#P27"}},{"key":"occupation","label":"Occupation","values":[{"text":"statesperson","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q372436"},{"text":"party organizer","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q4345946"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q983603#P106"}},{"key":"party","label":"Political party","values":[{"text":"Communist Party of the Soviet Union (1917–1938)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q79854","start":"1917","end":"1938"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q983603#P102"}},{"key":"positions","label":"Positions held","values":[{"text":"First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Azerbaijan (21 January 1926 – 5 August 1929)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q109852918","start":"1926-01-21","end":"1929-08-05"},{"text":"deputy of the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q15628644"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q983603#P39"}},{"key":"awards","label":"Awards","values":[{"text":"Order of Lenin","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q185493"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q983603#P166"}}],"office":null,"sections":[],"cited":[],"cited_from":null,"videos":[],"last_reviewed":null,"organizations":[],"same_as":["https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levon_Mirzoyan","https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q983603"],"faq":[{"q":"When was Levon Mirzoyan born?","a":"Levon Mirzoyan was born on 18 November 1897 in Heşan."},{"q":"What positions has Levon Mirzoyan held?","a":"Positions held by Levon Mirzoyan include: First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Azerbaijan (1926–1929); deputy of the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union."}],"related":[{"name":"Heydar Aliyev","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/heydar-aliyev"},{"name":"Sergei Kirov","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/sergei-kirov"},{"name":"Elena Stasova","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/elena-stasova"},{"name":"Ayaz Mutallibov","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/ayaz-mutallibov"},{"name":"Mirza Davud Huseynov","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/mirza-davud-huseynov"},{"name":"Mir Jafar Baghirov","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/mir-jafar-baghirov"},{"name":"Nikolay Semyonov","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/nikolay-semyonov"},{"name":"Nikolay Basov","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/nikolay-basov"},{"name":"Oleksiy Vatchenko","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/oleksiy-vatchenko"},{"name":"Mykhailo Hrechukha","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/mykhailo-hrechukha"},{"name":"Ivan Hrushetsky","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/ivan-hrushetsky"},{"name":"Iskhak Razzakov","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/iskhak-razzakov"}],"places_in":[],"nearby":[],"image":{"url":"https://diginpl.com/kb-img/levon-mirzoyan-6bbf0e8d26.jpg","width":294,"height":448,"license":"Public domain","credit":"Unknown author Unknown author","page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:L._Mirzoyan.jpg"},"sources":[{"label":"Wikipedia (English): Levon Mirzoyan","url":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levon_Mirzoyan","license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/"},{"label":"Wikidata item Q983603","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q983603","license":"https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/"},{"label":"Image: L.
