Continuing our deep dive into Azerbaijan's oil history, this episode focuses on the larger-than-life figure of Haji Zeynalabdin Taghiyev, Baku's most prominent Azerbaijani oil magnate and philanthropist. Born into a poor family, Taghiyev used his fortune to transform Baku: funding schools for girls, the first Azerbaijani opera, and the grand Ismailiyya building. We trace his rise from construction worker to millionaire, his rivalry with the Nobel brothers, his role in the 1904 oil strike (the 'Mazut Constitution'), and his tragic fall after the Bolsheviks seized everything in 1920. Along the way, we explore the broader class dynamics of Baku's oil boom — the contrast between foreign capital (Nobel, Rothschild) and local entrepreneurs, and Taghiyev's vision of a modern, educated Azerbaijan. Plus: the burning of his beloved theatre under the Red Army. #HajiZeynalabdinTaghiyev #BakuOilBarons #AzerbaijanHistory #CaucasusHistory #OilHistory #Philanthropy #Baku #AzerbaijanDemocraticRepublic #Ismailiyya #TaghiyevTheatre #MazutConstitution #Branobel #BolshevikRevolution #Absheron #NobelBrothers #Rothschild #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
