Tashenov was a member of theCentral Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. In 1962, he earned a Ph.D. in Economics.
Tashenov was born on March 20, 1915, in the village Tanaköl,Akmolinsk Oblast,Russian Empire (present-day Babatai village,Arshaly District,Akmola Region).[1] He came from the Altai-Qarpyq clan from theArgyn tribe of theMiddle jüz.[2]
A descendant of the Northern Kazakhs near present-dayAstana and member of amiddle class family, Tashenov was one of six children.[1]
His father, Zhaksybay Tashen[b] was a handyman in the nearby village of Martynovka from 1917 to 1924. In 1931, he died. His mother, Gulsum, owned a small property alongside her husband.[1]
Though his father's name is Zhaksybay, Tashenov'spatronymic is officially recorded asAkhmetovich. According to Dametken Zheng, following Kazakh customs, Tashenov and his brother Manap were adopted by their father's brother Ahmet after Zhaksybay's death.[1]
In 1928, Tashenov became a member of theKomsomol. The same year, he attended a peasant youth school, which he completed in 1932. On the proposition by his brother Manap, he was admitted to a construction college in 1933. Having interrupted his studies in 1934, he worked for 4 months at the Akmolinsk District Executive Committee, and in October, was appointed Executive Secretary of the Executive Committee of the newly-formedKrasnoarmeysky District of theKokchetav Oblast.[1]
In 1934, Tashenov was hired by the District Committee of the (Vishnevsky)Arshaly District, and then moved to work in the Krasnoarmeysky District Executive Committee of theNorth Kazakhstan Region. In 1934, Tashenov entered the civil service, where he worked until 28 May 1975. In 1940, he was accepted into the ranks of theCPSU. From 1934 to 1944, Tashenov worked in different positions ofAkmola,Karaganda andNorth Kazakhstan regions. On 27 August 1939, he was appointed head of the Land Department of Beynetkorsky district (present-dayMagzhan Zhumabayev District). He held the position until August 1942.[1]
On 8 October 1939, Tashenov was appointed head of theBeinetkor District. From there, he held various positions, and on 22 March 1947, on behalf ofCentral Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, he became First Deputy Chairman of the Executive Committee of theNorth Kazakhstan Regional Council of Workers' Deputies.[1]
In 1951, Tashenov was elected as a member of theSupreme Soviet of the Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic.

At the end of 1960, Tashenov famously opposed the creation of theTselinny Krai administrative region from theVirgin Lands campaign, which, as proposed, would have comprised the five Northern Kazakh Oblasts and separated from theKazakh SSR. Tashenov suggested that the idea, which was promoted byNikita Khrushchev, went against the1936 Constitution of the Soviet Union.[3] He was also a leading oppositionist to the relocation of theMangyshlak Region away from Kazakhstan, also proposed by Khrushchev. From 1961, Tashenov was demoted to lower, more local position inSouth Kazakhstan.[1]
