Crimean Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic (Modern Crimean Tatar: Qırım Muhtar Sotsialist Sovet Cumhuriyeti; Official Crimean Tatar name (Uniform Turkic Alphabet): Qrьm Avonomjalь Sotsialist Sovet Respublikasь; Russian: Крымская Автономная Социалистическая Советская Республика - Krymskaya Avtonomnaya Socialisticheskaya Sovetskaya Respublika) was created on October 18, 1921 as Crimean Autonomous Socialist Soviet Republic of RSFSR in place of Taurida Governorate and within the Crimean Peninsula, with its capital being Simferopol. The official languages were Crimean Tatar and Russian. On December 5, 1936 by the VIII Extraordinary Congress of Soviets of USSR the republic was renamed into the Crimean Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic.^[1]

A significant part of its population were Crimean Tatars, who were stripped of their property and civil rights and forcibly resettled to Central Asia in 1944.^[2] (Their constitutional rights were restored in 1967.) However, they were not allowed to return until the last days of the Soviet Union.

On June 30, 1945 by the decree of the both Presidiums of the Supreme Soviet of USSR and the Supreme Soviet of RSFSR (published on May 26, 1946) it was converted into the Crimean Oblast of RSFSR, which was transferred to Ukrainian SSR in 1954.^[3]

Following a referendum held on January 20, 1991 the Crimean Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic was reestablished on February 12, 1991 by the Supreme Soviet of the Ukrainian SSR.^[4] Today it is officially named the Autonomous Republic of Crimea.
