History
Nariman Karbalayi Najaf oghlu Narimanov was an Azerbaijani Bolshevik revolutionary, writer, publicist, politician and statesman. In the realm of literature, his most famous works are “Bahadur and Sona”, “Nadir shah” and so more. Narimanov also translated into Turkic Nikolai Gogol’s “The Government Inspector” and wrote many plays, stories and novels, such as Bahadur and Sona (1896). He was also the author of the historical trilogy, Nadir-Shah (1899).
According to Heydar Aliyev, it was not easy to erect a monument to Narimanov. Aliyev visited Suslov and Brezhnev twice, but they, as Aliyev recalled, had completely different information about Narimanov. Finally Aliyev managed to get his way. On June 6, 1972, the opening of the monument took place. Heydar Aliyev delivered a speech at the opening.
