The Checheno-Ingush Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic (TschIASSR for short) was a republic of the Russian Federal Soviet Socialist Republic (RSFSR) within the Soviet Union and was founded on December 5, 1936 with the 1936 constitution . It emerged from the Checheno-Ingush Autonomous Oblast . Their capital was Grozny . On March 7, 1944, the Autonomous Soviet Republic was dissolved. The Chechens and Ingush , accused by the Stalin regime of collaborating with the German invaders , were forcibly deported by the NKVD to Central Asian republics such as Kazakhstan . Parts of the territory of the TschIASSR came to the Dagestani and North Ossetian ASSR and Georgian SSR . The rest formed the Grozny Oblast within the Russian SFSR.
When Chechens and Ingush were able to return to their homeland during the so-called thaw period , the TschIASSR was re-established on January 9, 1957. In the course of the dissolution of the Soviet Union , it was renamed the Chechen-Ingush Republic on May 15, 1991 . On October 1, 1991, the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR decided to divide the republic into the Chechen Republic and the Ingush Republic as a result of the Chechen independence.
