At the time of his appointment he was 35 years old. Much of his previous activities as a member of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union had been conducted in the Uzbek Soviet Socialist Republic, and he said in February 1946, "I have not worked in Kirghizia for very long at all, and to me your trust is dear. I, a son of our people, promise you, comrades, to devote all my strength and knowledge to the devotion of great tasks."{{sfn|Karakeyev|2010|p=12}}
