AHC: A Central Asian as Premier of USSR

The challenge is to make someone from the Central Asian Soviet republics as President and CP General Secretary.

POD post-World War 2.

Thanks in advance!
 
It might be difficult, but not quite impossible. Afterall Stalin himself was not a Russian, but a Georgian! If a Georgian could become the dictator of the U.S.S.R. for about three decades, a Central Asian could have occupied the chair of the Soviet President!

It shouldnt be that hard to find a way for a Central Asian to become the Premier, the hard part is finding a list of prominent Central Asian communists in the first place.

Well, there's Frunze, but I wonder if he counts. He was from Central Asia, but ethnic Russian.
 
I think he has to be a Russified Central Asian, anyway, just like Stalin was a kind of Russified Georgian.
