The Kirghiz Autonomous Socialist Soviet Republic (Russian: Киргизская АССР, Kirghiz; Kyrgyz: Кыргыз автономная Советтик Социалисттик Республикасы) was an autonomous republic of the Soviet Union within the Russian Socialist Federative Soviet Republic existing from 1926 until 1936.[1]
The Kirghiz ASSR was created on 11 February 1926 in the former region of Soviet Central Asia, within the Russian SFSR, when the Kirghiz AO was reorganized as an ASSR. On 5 December 1936, it was elevated to the Kirghiz SSR (independent of the Russian SFSR), one of the constituent republics of the Soviet Union.[2]
