Muhammad Asimi (September 1, 1920 – July 29, 1996), was a Soviet and Tajik philosopher,[1] soldier, poet,[2] and academic.
Born in Khujand,[3] Asimi graduated from Samarkand State University (1941). In 1990 he founded the Payvand (Пайванд) Society, a cultural organization for scholarly relations between the Persian-speaking peoples, for which he was active until his death.
Asimi was killed in Dushanbe on 29 July 1996[4] during the Tajikistani Civil War. A documentary was released in 2018, by Emmy award winner Chris Schueler,[5] covering his life and accomplishments.[6]
