Early years

Alexander Nikolayev was born in Voronezh in 1897. His father was a military engineer, who traveled extensively around Russian Empire, taking the family with him, before settling permanently in Voronezh in 1914. Nikolayev studied in the Sumsk Military School from 1908 till 1916. Their he met his first painting teacher Nikolay Evlampiev. After military school he served in Imperial Russian Army in 1916-1917.

Central Asia

Nikolayev was sent to Tashkent after demobilization in 1920. His mission was to develop art and culture in new Soviet Central Asia and work closely with Turkestan Central Executive Committee. Nikolayev felt in love with Central Asia. The local culture and traditions started to influence and inspire his life and art. There is a legend that said Alexander Nikolayev converted to Islam, which cannot be supported by any official documents because of persecution of religion by Soviet authorities after revolution.[2]

He received a new name from his pupils - Usto Mumin, which means "Faithful and Gentle Master".[3]

Arrest and imprisonment

He was working as a director of Uzbek Pavilion at Union Agricultural Exhibition in Moscow, while he was unexpectedly arrested and imprisoned.[4] One of the reasons for his arrest was his homosexuality.[5] Many of his works, painted in his early Uzbek period had homoerotic tendencies and used Bacha bazi as a subject. One of his most known paintings "Pomegranate Zeal", which is performed in iconographic tradition, tells the story of two young boys from the moment they meet until their death.[6][7] He spent 4 years in prison and was released in 1942. He wasn't allowed to paint while being in prison.

Later years

After release, Nikolaev returned to Uzbekistan and continued to work as illustrator and theatre designer. He received a Honorary Award from the Central Executive Committee of Uzbek Soviet Socialist Republic for his role in establishing the Uighur Theatre in Tashkent. Alexander Nikolayev died in Tashkent in 1957.
