The Kazakh Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic ( Kazakh ASSR for short , also known as Kazak ASSR ) was an Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic within the Russian SFSR , which existed from 1925 to 1936.

history

The Kazakh ASSR was originally founded under the name Kyrgyz Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic on August 26, 1920 as part of the Russian SFSR. The name is due to the fact that Kazakhs in pre-revolutionary Russia were commonly referred to as Kirghiz (Russian киргизы , Kirgisy ) or Kirghiz-Kaisaki ( киргиз-кайсаки ).

On June 15, 1925, the 5th All-Kyrgyz Congress of Soviets ( Пятый Всекиргизский съезд Советов ), based on the Kazakhs' own designation, renamed the republic to Kazakh Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic. The administrative center became Ksyl-Orda . In May 1929 Alma-Ata became the new administrative center of the Autonomous Republic. With the adoption of the Soviet Constitution of 1936 on December 5, 1936, the Kazakh ASSR became an independent Union republic as the Kazakh Socialist Soviet Republic .

Administrative division

Until 1928, the Kazakh ASSR consisted of the Akmolinsk , Aktyubinsk , Orenburg , Shetissu , Semipalatinsk , Syrdarya and Uralsk governorates . In August 1928 the governorates were dissolved and the republic was divided into 13 okrug and Rajons . In 1932 there was another administrative reform in which the areas were divided into six oblasties . In January 1935 the Okrug Karakalinsk also became part of the ASSR.
