history

The national circles v. l. No. the Karachay , Kabardiner , Balkar , Ossetian , Ingush , Sunsha - Cossack and Chechen and the two urban districts of Vladikavkaz (yellow) and Grozny .

The Soviet Mountain Republic was founded on January 20, 1921 and at that time covered an area of ​​more than 73,000 km². The seven national districts of the GASSR had a population of around 800,000. These seven national districts were formed between the years 1921 and 1924 as autonomous oblasts within the republic, from which their successor republics emerged after the reorganization.

Kabardino-Balkaria had already been separated in 1921/22 (the area of ​​the Kabardines on September 1, 1921, the Balkar region on January 16, 1922). After several further reorganizations, the mountain republic finally only comprised the areas of the northern Ossetians and the Ingushes . The GASSR was dissolved on July 7, 1924 , but the individual autonomous oblasts did not become autonomous sub-republics until 1934/36 ( Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic , ASSR).
