Biography
[edit]Magomedov was born on 15 June 1930, in Levashi, Levashinsky district, Republic of Dagestan.
Magomedov graduated from the Dagestan Teachers Institute in 1952, and in 1968 from the Dagestan Institute of Agriculture. In 1969 he was elected chairman of the Levashinsky District executive committee. In December next year he switched to the work within the Communist Party and became the first secretary of the Levashinsky district committee.[2] In September 1975, he was appointed head of the agricultural department of the Dagestan Regional Committee of the Party. In January 1979, he began working in the Government of Dagestan, first as deputy chairman of the Council of Ministers, and since May 1983 as Chairman of the Council of Ministers.
In 1987 Magomedov achieved the office of the Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of Dagestan ASSR, which was mostly ceremonial post at the time, ranked as head of state in Dagestan. On 24 April 1990, he was elected Chairman of the Supreme Council of the Dagestan ASSR. Magomedov was one of the few leaders to keep his post in the post-Soviet Russian Federation.
On 26 July 1994, he was elected Chairman of the State Council of the Republic of Dagestan. The State Council acted as a collective head of state in Dagestan, composed from 14 representatives of the region's major ethnic groups. On 26 June 1998, Magomedov was re-elected to the same post, and on 25 June 2002, again for the third time. He resigned on 19 February 2006, for unclear reasons, and was replaced two days later by Mukhu Aliyev, and the State Council was dissolved on 20 February. Unlike Magomedov, Aliyev was styled as president of Dagestan, according to 2003 Constitution.
