Chita, a city in eastern Siberia, Russia and place of exile for early revolutionaries was a center for worker unrest in the early years of the 20th century. During Russian Revolution of 1905 armed revolutionaries organized by Viktor Kurnatovsky (Виктор Константинович Курнатовский) [1] took control over the city and declared Chita Republic. Troops loyal to the regime, led by Paul von Rennenkampf, quickly crushed the new government and its leaders were severely punished.


The term Chita Republic (Chitinskaya Respublika) is also used for the Far Eastern Republic (6 April 1920 - November 1922). Chita was its capital after October 1920.
