Biography
He was born on 25 May 1935 in the village of Körbekül (renamed Izobilne in 1945) in the Crimean ASSR to a Crimean Tatar family. In 1944, he was deported from Crimea to the Uzbek Soviet Socialist Republic in 1944 as part of a campaign of ethnic cleansing. Upon arriving in Tashkent Region, only Mustafa was able to work (his parents were elderly, his elder sister was disabled, his brother and sister were still young),{{cite web|url=http://www.lgrach.ru/novosti/respublika-krym/2016/04/28/mustafa-chachi|title=МУСТАФА ЧАЧИ|author=Т.

He was a worker at the “Five-Year Plan of the Uzbek SSR” sovkhoz in Okkurgan district of Tashkent region. Later, he worked as a tractor driver. From 1957 to 1958, he was an assistant mechanic, and from 1958 to 1960, he was the leader of the mechanized field-breeding brigade of the sovkhoz.
He constantly sought and applied new ways of improving labor productivity. He transferred his brigade to self-financing. He was the first to establish a mixed mechanized tractor-field-breeding brigade in the sovkhoz. Such brigades were more efficient than separate tractor and field brigades.
By the decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR on 30 April 1966, Mustafa Chachi was awarded the Order of Lenin and the “Hammer and Sickle” gold medal and the title of Hero of Socialist Labor for his achievements in increasing cotton production and silkworm breeding.{{Cite web |last=Karimov |first=Timur |title=Чачи Мустафа Сейдулаевич |url=https://www.warheroes.ru/hero/hero.asp?Hero_id=16387 |access-date=2023-12-04 |website=www.warheroes.ru}}
Mustafo Chachi's experience of efficient labor was studied by visitors from all over the Soviet Union, as well as from foreign countries.Ayshe Shulakova, Edem Ismailov. Syujet o geroe sotsialisticheskogo truda Mustafe Chachi. — Telekanal „Millet“, 10 January 2017
He was a deputy of the 7th convocation of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR (1966–1970).
At the end of the 1960s, when the Crimean Tatars were allowed to move more freely throughout the country, he signed the notorious and widely criticized letter of seventeen in March 1968 that encouraged other Crimean Tatars from giving up their dreams of returning to Crimea and avoid succumbing to "provocations" encouraging them to return, and claimed that the real tragedy would be leaving the Uzbek SSR.{{Cite book |last1=Guboglo |first1=Mikhail|last2=Chervonnaya|first2=Svetlana |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=5_JoAAAAMAAJ |title=Крымскотатарское национальное движение: Документы, материалы, хроника |date=1992 |publisher=Russian academy of Sciences |pages=188–189 |language=ru}}
