Description

Mammad Amin Rasulzade (1884-1955) was an Azerbaijani statesmen, author and a public figure. He was a founder and a member of several influential pan-Islamic and pan-Turkist groups, a communist and the head of the Azerbaijani national council. According to the legend he saved young Joseph Stalin from being arrested in 1905 in Baku.

From 1922, Mammad Amin Rasulzade, lived in exile due to his radical believes, which were not well received by the Soviet Union.

Rasulzade’s expression “The flag once raised will never fall!” became the motto of the independence movement in Azerbaijan in the 20th century. The Baku State University was named after Mammad Amin Rasulzade and his portrait was featured on the Azerbaijani 1000 manat banknote between 1993-2006.
