Mukhlis Krasnaya Novogrody (born in October 7, 1947) or more well known with his first name Mukhlis or his abbreviation MKN is an Alezian politician, musician, actor, and university lecturer who served as the Premier of the Federation of North Alezia from 1988 to 1998. A leader of the Liberal Democratic Party of North Alezia (pre-reunification from 1988-2001), Mukhlis now acts as a honorary advisor within the Liberal Democratic Party of the Alezian Union since reunification.

Mukhlis raised to popularity after leading the North Alezian Revolution of 1987-1988 and became a popular politician after he was credited for saving the Alezian economy and social structure with his "Liberal in our economy, Social in our humanity" ideology, which would eventually form the basic tenets of "Mukhlisism". Mukhlis was considered "the Father of Alezian Democracy"

Mukhlis is the first ever premier in North Alezia to be elected democratically and the first to be reelected democratically. Both of Mukhlis' terms were received highly within the Alezian public, due to Mukhlis' economic liberalization and legalisation of further personal freedoms within the country in addition to restarting North Alezian foreign policy through the Triangle Pact and agreements with Carrelie, Waisnor, and Malta Comino Gozo which would become the base for the WMCA Alliance.

Although both of Mukhlis' terms has been generally approved with high approval ratings in North Alezia, both terms would be marred by the 1998 AleziRadio corruption case, negative environmental impacts including the failure to address whaling in North Alezia, and inadequate labour laws. Due to his administration's failure and neglect of the Reunification issue, Mukhlis was in contrast, highly unpopular in South Alezia. He's often called "the Margaret Thatcher for South Alezia" due to his administration's preference to save the North Alezian economy than help South Alezia through reunification which the region desperately needed at the time under the dictatorship of General Hoojvinken. The question of whether Mukhlis Krasnaya Novogrody should be considered a hero or not remained a strong question in contention between North and South Alezians.

Early Life

Mukhlis Krasnaya Novogrody was born in Noshvaldzar, Pyalivostok, British Alezia to pop singer Aziz Goridagyev Novogrody and Isanayran "Isa" Aliyeva Novogrody (nee Maliyenskova). Aziz Goridagyev Novogrody is most well known for being the only person to have won AleziRadio Festival of Songs three times: in 1958, 1969, and 1977. Isa meanwhile was pretty well known in the peaceful North Alezian independence movement against the British from the 1930s to its' independence in 1958.

Mukhlis commented that his parents endured "undescribable" hardship during his early childhood days. During that time, Alezia was devastated by World War II and the subsequent losses in the Alezian economy after successfully fending off a Japanese invasion into the Alezian Isles.

Mukhlis lived a normal, albeit harsh childhood back then, with his parents arguing whether Mukhlis should continue his father Aziz's career as a singer or join politics like his mother Isa. Mukhlis eventually had to move along with his uncle Iosif Marienkov Novogrody to Pyalivostokgrad in order to receive education in there. In the capital of Pyalivostok, Mukhlis received education in the Pyalivostokgrad Royal British-Russian School (PBRS). During his education in the city, Mukhlis noticed the atmosphere of "a country that's going to be independent soon". This would end up being the reality as during that time, negotiations of an independent North Alezia between Alezians and the United Kingdom would be initiated and resulted in a successful draft of a constitution.

During his formative years, Mukhlis joined the PBRS School Choir, where he sang tenor during his duration of education there. He also learned the guitar, the violin, and learned three other languages after English and Russian (French, German, and Arabic) which he mastered after finishing PBRS. Mukhlis throughout his early and middle education was considered as a smart student with strong potential.

In 1958, as Mukhlis reached 11 and the Iliyan Dictatorship was installed, Mukhlis' educational quality plummeted to the point where he felt that he "could not rely fully on school anymore" and while he continued his formal education and graduate from PBRS (after 1958 called the Pyalivostokian School) would receive tutelage about various topics from his parents and uncle Iosif. Iosif would eventually help shape Mukhlis' personality and political ideology as someone who could not be tied to an iron-fisted leader which would shape Mukhlis' liberal values. Mukhlis' mother Isa taught Mukhlis the basic of politics and international law which shaped his interest in that subject.

College Years and Introduction into Politics

The North Alezian educational system at that time requires potential university students to write a 1000-word essay on any topic of their choice. When it became possible to do so economically and officially, Mukhlis wrote his essay titled "What Could've Been Done in Alezian Foreign Politics in Relation to the United Kingdom" and criticized the Iliyan Dictatorship regarding its' closed-door policy in relation to its' foreign policy. Mukhlis commented at how he was "walking on thin ice" while writing the essay due to the danger of possibly offending the Iliyan family within those critical literature that he's writing.

Eventually, Mukhlis successfully submitted his essay and would be admitted into the University of Zafizamarrah in 1964 within its International Relations department which was still new at the time. According to his fellow classmates, at that time, Mukhlis showed potential and was considered a potential member of the Alezian Diplomatic Corps after he wrote in the University of Zafizamarrah's newspaper "The Light". However, according to an interview with the Alezian Broadcasting Authority (ABA) in 2022, Mukhlis mentioned that his years studying in University was "tumultuous and problematic".

During this time, Mukhlis was secretly considered a danger to Alezian society by the Rectorate of the University of Zafizamarrah. And as such, Mukhlis started losing his rights to write in "The Light" and was considerably hindered during his university progress through intentional bureaucratic problems and harshened graduation rules. And as such, Mukhlis couldn't graduate on time together with his fellow classmates and had to graduate 3 years later than his peers, in 1971. Other acts of discrimination by the administration includes the increase of fees Mukhlis was required to pay in order to continue his studies.

Mukhlis commented in his interview with the ABA in 2022 that Mukhlis knew what was going on, but he didn't want to "cause drama" with the university knowing that the Iliyan Dictatorship would back the university administration compared to him. However, he also commented that he "still wanted to do something about it". In 1967, Mukhlis joined the underground "Political Students Association for the Liberation of North Alezia" (PSALNA, now Alezian Political Student Association / APSA) and got to secretly visit (back then) democratic Kingdom of South Alezia, which back then, was an illegal thing to do and could warrant his execution. However, during the Iliyan Dictatorship, he never got arrested throughout his university years.

Pre-Premiership

Subversion against Iliya and Arrest

During Mukhlis' days in PSALNA, Mukhlis acted as a writer for their secret newspaper "Sportspage" (intentionally called as such in order to avoid detection by the North Alezian dictatorship), where he with full freedom, started writing critique against the dictatorship in a stronger, much more "direct" tone. During his time as a newspaper writer, Mukhlis would criticize the Iliya's "Unholy Trinity of Hindering North Alezian Progress": Corruption, Authoritarianism, and Hatred. The paper would end up spread among the ranks of dissent within the North Alezian populace which made Mukhlis popular among them. Eventually, he rose through the ranks fast enough that he would end up being the chairman of PSALNA for a one-year term from 1970 until his eventual graduation in 1971.

In 1972, Mukhlis was secretly contacted by the bigger, much organized organization called the North Alezian Liberation Group (NALG) asking him if he would be interested in writing for them. Mukhlis accepted the deal and would end up writing very scathing criticism against the Iliyan Dictatorship (specifically the Premier of North Alezia from 1969-1983 Aji Iliya) for the NALG. During his time in the NALG, Mukhlis would meet with Andi Rinra Manriattang, a fellow critic against the dictatorship especially in her own department of architecture.

Eventually, Mukhlis was selected to address the public secretly through the jamming of AleziRadio in the 1974 Premiership Speech by Aji Iliya. During the 15 minutes NALG jammed the state-owned radio, Mukhlis publicly, albeit with a hidden identity, criticized the Iliyan Dictatorship for hurting the Alezian population, destroying life by strangling the basic tenets of freedom. During this, the North Alezian populace quickly called the voice "the Angel" without knowing the man behind the voice.

In the North Alezian Government, the elimination of NALG became a strong political priority. And in 15th of August 1977, the government raided the NALG offices at an underground bunker in Iskandaruddin and arrested most of its' members, including Mukhlis. However, Mukhlis' (back then) girlfriend Rinra successfully escaped along with the remaining members of the splintered NALG. Mukhlis was arrested for "Disrupting State Communications" and "Subversion" and put in the Mamazaldaruddin Extensive Security Prison. According to the Dictatorship's Plans which was leaked in 2009, Mukhlis was supposed to be executed in March 1978, then in June 1979, November 1979, and August 1980. However, this never came to fruition.

During Mukhlis' arrest, his wife Rinra continued where Mukhlis left off, writing critics and became the first woman to speak in the annual NALG jamming speech where she did so in 18th of August 1980. Even with the government's resentment against Mukhlis and the government's continuous failed attempts at arresting Rinra, the Ulema Council of North Alezia called for the government to let the two dissidents marry under Islamic law because "it's their right to marry". Eventually, Mukhlis and Rinra was married in 3rd of April 1981 at the Premier Aji Iliya's house under secretive circumstances and a guarantee that no arrests would be made (the threat was that if Rinra was arrested, the NALG would rebel instantly).

Reunification of the Alezian Union (2021-present)

The thing is, I have nothing to do with Reunification. I wanted to do it even from 1993, yet time said otherwise and I didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings by taking the spotlight as to quote them, "the man who delayed reunification by 30 years"

— Mukhlis Krasnaya Novogrody, That's Tea, 15th of June 2022 episode when asked about why Mukhlis only attended as an audience at the Reunification Ceremony the previous year

Mukhlis took a much more hands-off reaction to the Reunification of the Alezian Union in 2021. When asked by Sa'idah Mahmudaisyah to attend the Reunification Ceremony, Mukhlis was rumoured to respond by saying that he will attend but not as a VIP attendee due to the "guilt and pain he would've caused appearing unapologetically". While Mukhlis congratulated the Alezian Union government for successfully reunify the Alezian Isles, Mukhlis was known recently to not speak too much about Reunification. Political commentary from ALEPopuli suggested that Mukhlis did the right thing by attending secretly due to the potential pain Mukhlis would've caused South Alezians by attending.

Mukhlis' decision to not attend the Reunification Ceremony as a VIP guest increased South Alezian opinion of Mukhlis in a 2022 survey by ALEPopuli from 17% "somewhat positive to very positive" view to 30% "somewhat positive to very positive" view. According to the survey, most of the reasoning can be summarized by the action translating to Mukhlis admitting guilt.

Mukhlis rarely participated in politics during the post-Reunification era, but commented that he would endorse current South Alezian president Mahmud Bergen to become the Liberal-Democratic candidate for premiership in the next Liberal-Democratic primary, continuing after Sa'idah Mahmudaisyah. Mukhlis commented that Bergen has shown great capability of recreating a strong South Alezia within the Alezian Union, and how that strength is greatly needed in the present by the wider populace. Mukhlis commented about other medias calling for either Mukhlis or his son Robi to run for Premiership by calling those suggestion "absurd" and "way out of its' time" when asked about it in an interview held by ABA News in 2024. Mukhlis also openly mentioned that he's been mentoring someone to become Premier one day, but rather keeping the name secret.

During the post-reunification era, Mukhlis focused on the artistic department, narrating a few movies and composing songs. Mukhlis has tried numerous times to be selected by the North Alezian broadcaster ABA Zafizamarrah to compose potential North Alezian entries to be submitted into the national Operation:WorldVision competition, but none of his attempts has been successful as of date.

Political Views

Personal Life

Mukhlis married architect Andi Rinra Manriattang in 1978 and have two children: Andi Robi Idris Novogrody and Andi Ainii Irqimaza Novogrody, two non-identical twins who were born in the middle of Mukhlis' first term in 1990. Both Robi and Ainii would end up becoming national pop stars and both have tried representing the Alezian Union in the World Hit Festival.

Mukhlis considers himself a "moderate Muslim", following his beliefs and not only following the compulsory teachings, but also the Sunnah. Mukhlis has commented about he was shocked about the rise of Islamophobia and anti-Semitism throughout the world.

Mukhlis loves music, knows how to play the violin (and taught his son Robi how), and composed a few songs during his premiership. Mukhlis is also confirmed to be a fan of the WorldVision Song Contest, congratulating all four of the Alezian Union's victories in the contest in his Arico.net account and would oftentimes upload humorous comment regarding the Alezian entry and its' results. Mukhlis also commented about how Meliana and Miriam who competed at the WorldVision Song Contest 108 for the Alezian Union is a strong indication of Alezian reunification and how "robbed" they were even though he highly congratulated them for getting fifth place. He also suggested the Alezian Broadcasting Authority could try holding the AleziRadio Festival of Songs as a long-duration national final to select the Alezian entry for the contest one day.

Mukhlis commented that he loves to swim and to ice skate, the latter of which is an activity that Mukhlis tends to do to maintain his health as he skates around the frozen Pyalivostokian rivers. He also commented how he likes to write, especially fictional stories and have recorded few narrations before.
