The Socialist Soviet Republic of Byelorussia (SSRB; Belarusian: Сацыялістычная Савецкая Рэспубліка Беларусь, romanized: Sacyjalistyčnaja Savieckaja Respublika Biełaruś; Russian: Социалистическая Советская Республика Белоруссия / ССРБ, romanized: Sotsialisticheskaya Sovetskaya Respublika Belorussiya / SSRB) was an early republic in the historical territory of Belarus for only one month in 1919 after the collapse of the Russian Empire as a result of the October Revolution.
First establishment
Belarusian People's Republic, and consisted of the governorates of Smolensk, Vitebsk, Mogilev, Minsk, Grodno, and Vilna
.
It was considered by Bolsheviks to be a
Lithuanian–Belorussian Soviet Socialist Republic
(Litbel).
Second establishment
The republic was re-established under the same name on 31 July 1920. However, in traditional
Soviet historiography it has been referred to as the Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic (BSSR), its name after the incorporation into the Soviet Union
in 1922.
