However, on June 17, 1937, Fayzulla Khodjaev was released from all his posts and imprisoned. After terrible tortures, on March 13, 1938, he was executed by firing squad. It was only in 1965 that he was recognized as a victim of Stalin's repressions and restored to the party posthumously. 

The politician Fayzulla Khodjaev was the son of the merchant Ubaydulla Khodjaev, however, he did not inherit his father's trading vein. Ubaydulla Khodjaev purchased a 3ha house for his entire large family in the 80s of the XIX century in the center of Bukhara.
