The Tuvinian ASSR ( Tuvinian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic ) was an autonomous Soviet republic in the Russian Federative Socialist Soviet Republic (RSFSR) within the Soviet Union . It existed from 1961 to 1991. The capital was Kyzyl .

Originally, the resource-rich area belonged to Outer Mongolia , a province of the Chinese Empire , which was part of the Republic of China as an autonomous region from 1912 . In 1921 the Soviet Union (USSR) annexed the territory and founded the Republic of Tannu-Tuva through the puppet government it installed , from which the Tuvinian People's Republic emerged in 1924 . In October 1944, the country was incorporated into the USSR as an autonomous region. In 1961 it was renamed the Tuvinian ASSR. After the collapse of the Soviet Union , Tuva declared its independence in November 1991, but then signed a federation treaty with the Russian Federation on March 31, 1992 , to which it has belonged as the Republic of Tuva ever since .
