The Kazakh Autonomous Socialist Soviet Republic^[1] (Russian: Казахская Автономная Социалистическая Советская Республика; Kazakh: Qazaq Aptonom Sotsijalistik Sovettik Respublikasь), abbreviated as Kazak ASSR (Russian: Казакская АССР; Kazakh: Qazaq ASSR) and simply Kazakhstan (Russian: Казахстан; Kazakh: Qazaƣьstan), was an autonomous republic of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (RSFSR) within the Soviet Union (from 1922) which existed from 1920 until 1936.^[2]

History

The Kazakh ASSR was originally created as the Kirghiz Autonomous Socialist Soviet Republic (

Russian Socialist Federative Soviet Republic

.

Before the

union republic of the Soviet Union.^[1]

Geography

The Kazak ASSR that succeeded the recently expanded Kirghiz ASSR included all of the territory making up the present-day Republic of Kazakhstan plus parts of Uzbekistan (the

Kara-Bogaz-Gol) and Russia (parts of what would become Orenburg Oblast

). These territories were transferred from the Kazak ASSR over the following decade.

The administrative subdivisions of the ASSR changed several times in its history. In 1928 the

guberniyas, administrative districts inherited from the Kirghiz ASSR were eliminated and replaced with 13 okrugs and raions. In 1932, the republic was divided into six new larger oblasts

. These included:

Aktyubinsk Oblast (capital: Aktyubinsk);
Alma-Ata (capital: Alma-Ata);
East Kazak Oblast (capital: Semipalatinsk);
Karaganda Oblast (capital:
Petropavlovsk
);
South Kazak Oblast (capital:
Chimkent
);
West Kazak Oblast (capital: Uralsk).

On 31 January 1935, yet another territorial division was implemented which included the six oblasts listed above plus a new

Karkaralinsk

okrug.
