The Kazakh ASSR was an autonomous republic of the Soviet Union. It became the Kazakh SSR on December 5, 1936.

Oddly enough, its original name was actually the Kirgiz Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic (not to be confused with Soviet Kirghizia, a Central Asian territory which is now the independent state of Kyrgyzstan). This A.S.S.R. was established on 26 Aug 1920, and was a part of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (R.S.F.S.R.)

In 1925 it was renamed the Kazakh Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic. In 1929 the city of Almaty (Alma-Ata) was designated as the capital of the ASSR.
