Kazak Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic
The Kazak Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic (Russian: Казакская АССР) was an autonomous republic of the Soviet Union within the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (RSFSR) existing from 1925 until 1936.
The Kazakh ASSR was originally created as the Kyrgyz Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic (not to be confused with Soviet Kirghizia, a Central Asian territory which is now the independent state of Kyrgyzstan) on August 26, 1920, and was a part of the RSFSR. 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. On December 5, 1936 it became the Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic.
