Tajik Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic
The Tajik Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic ( Tajik ASSR ; Tajik Ҷумҳурияти Сӯсиолистии Шӯравии Мухтори Тоҷикистон Çumhūrijati Sūsiolistiji Şūraviji Muxtori Toçikston ) was from 1924 to 1929 an autonomous republic within the Uzbek Soviet Socialist Republic of the Soviet Union .
In October 1924, a series of acts divided the three pre-existing regional units in Central Asia ( Turkestan ASSR , People's Republic of Bukhara and People's Republic of Khorezmia ) into five new units based on ethnic principles. This is how the Uzbek SSR, the Turkmen SSR , the Tajik ASSR (within the Uzbek SSR), the Kyrgyz Autonomous Oblast (as a province of the RSFSR) and the Karakalpak Autonomous Oblast (as a province of the Kazakh ASSR ) came into being.
The capital of the Tajik ASSR was Djushambe (now Dushanbe ). In October 1929, the Tajik ASSR was converted into a full-fledged Soviet Socialist Republic, the Tajik Soviet Socialist Republic , which also included the Khodzhent region (today Sughd Province in northern Tajikistan) from the Uzbek SSR.
