The Tajik Soviet Socialist Republic (abbreviation TaSSR ) was a union republic of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics from December 5, 1929 until Tajikistan's independence in 1991 .
development
From 1924 to 1929 Tajikistan was an Autonomous Republic ( ASSR ) within the Uzbek SSR , the Tajik ASSR . It was created on October 14, 1924 during the dissolution of the People's Republic of Bukhara and the Turkestan ASSR and is also historically considered part of "old" Turkestan . The west with the capital Dushanbe (Stalinabad until 1961) had previously belonged to the emirate of Bukhara , the north, like Uzbekistan, previously belonged to the former Turkestan ASSR.
After it was separated from Uzbekistan in 1929, Tajikistan became a union republic within the Soviet Union. In addition to the territory of the ASSR, the Tajik SSR received the region around Khojent , previously part of the Uzbek SSR. The Tajik SSR was Central Asia's smallest Soviet republic and the only one with a Persian-speaking titular nation .
The territory of the Tajik SSR was divided into:
- the Autonomous Oblast of Berg-Badakhshan
- Kuljab Oblast ( Kulob ) (October 27, 1939 to August 24, 1955, December 29, 1973 to September 1988)
- Kurgan-Tube Oblast ( Qurghonteppa ) (January 7, 1944 to January 23, 1947, 1977 to September 1988)
- Leninabad Oblast (October 27, 1939 to March 28, 1962, from December 23, 1970, now Sughd )
- Stalinabad Oblast (October 27, 1939 to April 10, 1951), city of Stalinabad today, Dushanbe
- Ura-Tube Oblast (January 19, 1945 to January 23, 1947), City of Ura-Tube, today Istaravshan
- Chatlon Oblast (from September 1988)
After the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, Tajikistan declared itself independent under President Rahmon Nabijew and was immediately affected by civil war .
The Main Outer Belt asteroid (2469) Tajikistan was named after the Tajik Soviet Socialist Republic in 1982.
