As a child he saw with his own eyes the local people being publicly executed by the soviet punitive detachments, experienced the grievous loss of the repressed innocent relatives. It was not easy to be branded as “the son of the public enemy” because of his father Osman aga who was executed in 1938. After Stalin’s “chistka” Museyib Dilbazi had to move with his mother Melek and two brothers Bahadur and Rashid to the city Ganja. The Bolsheviks left the family which had a lot of significant properties (today the building of central Fire department of Gazakh city, Central Policlinic of Gazakh, forests Qara yazi and others) with one sheep. In Ganja Museyib had to take care of his mother and younger brothers.

On June 26 Museib submitted an application for voluntary enlistment to the front. He displayed the prodigies of valor and heroism in the battle fields. His first baptism of fire was in the battles in West Ukraine where the soviet troops retreated fighting fiercely. In one of the battles Museib Dilbazi was wounded. After recovery in hospital he returned to his 151-st division and participated in the battles in the Caucasian direction. One of the war episodes with Museib Dilbazi's involvement was described in details by captain Polishuk in his book “The order has been fulfilled”. Under a hail of bullets and missiles he managed to transport to the other bank of the Ufra river 23 wounded soldiers.
