Nusratullo Makhsum (1895-1937) was a politician, intellectual, and revolutionary leader from Tajikistan. He played a significant role in the Tajik nationalist movement and was a prominent figure in the struggle for independence and cultural autonomy of the Tajik people.

Makhsum was a staunch advocate for the cultural and political autonomy of Tajikistan within the emerging Soviet Union. He was a member of the Russian Bolshevik Communist Party and held various political and administrative positions while advocating for the recognition of the Tajik language and Tajik culture.

His activism for Tajik autonomy and the preservation of Tajik cultural identity led to his arrest by Soviet authorities during Stalin's Great Purge in the 1930s. Makhsum was executed in 1937 as part of the Stalinist purges, a dark period of political repression and persecution in the Soviet Union.

Though his life was tragically cut short, Nusratullo Makhsum is still revered in Tajikistan as a national hero and an important figure in the struggle for the cultural and political autonomy of the Tajik people.
