The Crimean Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic ( Crimean Qırım Muhtar Sotsialist Sovet Cumhuriyeti officially Qrьm Avonomjalь Sotsialist Sovet Respublikasь; Russian Крымская Автономная Социалистическая Советская Республика Krymskaja Awtonomnaja Sozialistitscheskaja Sovetskaya Respublika ) was on 18 October 1921 as Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic within the peninsula Crimea created.

The independent People's Republic of Crimea had previously existed in Crimea and in an area bordering it to the north , a short-lived secular Muslim state that could only maintain its independence from December 1917 to January 1918 before it was broken up by Soviet Russia .

The capital was Simferopol . The official languages ​​were Crimean Tatar and Russian . On December 5, 1936, the Republic was renamed the Crimean Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic by the VIII Extraordinary Congress of the Soviets of the USSR .

A significant part of its population were Crimean Tatars , who were deprived of their property and their civil rights during the Second World War . Finally, in 1944, they were forcibly deported to Central Asia by order of the Soviet dictator Stalin . Their constitutional rights were not restored until 1967. Many of them could not return home until the last days of the Soviet Union.

On June 30, 1945, the Autonomous Republic was dissolved by the decree of both the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR and the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR - published on May 26, 1946 - and transformed into the Crimean Oblast of the RSFSR. The oblast was incorporated into the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic in 1954 .

Following a referendum held on January 20, 1991, the Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic of Crimea was reestablished on February 12, 1991 by the Supreme Soviet of the Ukrainian SSR and, after the independence of Ukraine, was divided into the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the governed city of Sevastopol .
