An opponent of Jewish autonomy in Crimea, he met his downfall for his acts which were accused of being exclusively in the interests of the Crimean Tatars, and he was removed from his post and executed in 1928.

His father, Ibraim, was a merchant, while his paternal grandfather (named Memet) was a peasant from the village of Özenbaş [uk] (now known as Tymoshenko).

[1] At this time, İbraimov first began to establish contacts with the Crimean Tatar nationalist movement, meeting Asan Sabri Ayvazov, Noman Çelebicihan, Reşid Mediyev [uk], Amet Özenbaşlı, and Cafer Seydamet Qırımer.

[3] In 1921, a massive famine began in Crimea, resulting from war communist policies of Prodrazverstka undertaken the previous year.

İbraimov and his supporters called for the recognition of Crimea as a region suffering from famine by the Russian Soviet government, and introduced a motion to do so in December 1920.

[2] Beginning in November 1921, İbraimov was People's Commissar for Inspection of the Workers and Peasants within the Crimean Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic.

[4] On 30 January 1922, İbraimov was selected as the leader of a troika (alongside a Cheka representative and an individual with the surname of Buzov) tasked with ensuring the destruction of remaining anti-Soviet guerrillas in Crimea.

[8] He quickly established himself as a figure in opposition to the central government of the Soviet Union, publicly standing against efforts to resettle Jews from Ukraine and Belarus as part of a planned Jewish autonomy in Crimea.

At the same time, İbraimov's supporters went to Jewish resettlement centres and agitated against the proposed autonomy plan, claiming it would disrupt inter-ethnic harmony and have negative effects in an area which had only recently begun to recover from the 1921 famine.

[2][3][9] On 28 February 1925, the Central Executive Committee and Council of People's Commissars of the Crimean ASSR issued orders prohibiting Jewish resettlement in Crimea.

İbraimov voted against the resolution, saying, "As for shortcomings in land management, I believe that the norms in Crimea are correct and scientifically substantiated, but need to be revised only in the interests of Jewish resettlement on the peninsula.

A few days prior to his murder, Cholak had been arrested after entering İbraimov's home with a revolver and been disarmed and injured by Hayserov before being apprehended by OGPU agents.

İbraimov and 14 other defendants, among them political allies,[11] were charged with terrorism, involvement in organised crime, and embezzlement of public funds.

[3] Following İbraimov's execution, claims were made by members of the Soviet establishment, among them Vyacheslav Molotov and Stanisław Kosior, that he had been an agent of Milliy Firqa acting in the interests of ethnic Crimean Tatars.

[3] As a result, the term Veliibraimovshchina (Russian: велиибраимовщина) began to be used in official circles to refer to national communist elements within the Soviet government.

[13] Another theory, proposed by Nariman Ibadullayev, claims that the execution was done out of concern that İbraimov would reveal compromising information about the killings of Grigory Kotovsky and Mishka Yaponchik, both participants in the 1907 Tiflis bank robbery who had died under unclear circumstances.

On 20 June of the same year, the Supreme Court of the Russian SFSR cancelled İbraimov's sentence, citing a lack of evidence.
