An ASSR is an acronym for an Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, a type of administrative unit created for certain nations which held a status lower than union republics of the Soviet Union but higher than the autonomous oblasts and autonomous okrugs.

When was the USSR founed?

other way around dummy *Ahem* The Russian Empire ceased to exist after the abdication of Tsar Nicholas II. On 14 September 1917, the newly formed Directorate had dissolved the State Duma and had declared the formation of the Russian Republic. However, it was short lived and on 9 November of the same year, the Soviets took control and the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (RSFSR) was formed. The USSR was formed on 30 December 1922 with the signing of the Treaty on the Creation of the USSR. This Treaty legalized the creation of a union of several Soviet Republics into the USSR. The signatories to this treaty were Russia SFSR, Ukraine SSR, Byelorussian (Belarus) SSR and Transcaucasian SFSR. In 1940, the Baltic States were annexed and were transformed into Lithuanian SSR, Estonia SSR and Latvian SSR. Later that year, the Moldovian SSR is formed from the Ukrainian administered Moldavian ASSR and annexed Romanian territory of Bessarabia. The Karelo-Finnish ASSR briefly became a republic from March 31, 1940- July 16, 1956. The Treaty was terminated on December 25, 1991 at the Dissolution of the USSR.

"Soviet" redirects here. For the term itself, see Soviet (council). For other uses, see Soviet (disambiguation).The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) was a constitutionally socialist state that existed in Eurasia from 1922 to 1991. The name is a translation of the Russian: Союз Советских Социалистических Республик​ (help·info), tr. Soyuz Sovetskikh Sotsialisticheskikh Respublik, abbreviated СССР, SSSR. The common short name is Soviet Union,[1] from Советский Союз, Sovetskiy Soyuz. A soviet is a council, the theoretical basis for the socialist society of the USSR.Emerging from the Russian Empire following the Russian Revolution of 1917 and the Russian Civil War of 1918-1921, the USSR was a union of several Soviet republics, but the synecdoche Russia-after the Russian SFSR, its largest and most populous constituent state-continued to be commonly used throughout the country's existence. The geographic boundaries of the USSR varied with time, but after the last major territorial annexations of the Baltic states, eastern Poland, Bessarabia, and certain other territories during World War II, from 1945 until dissolution, the boundaries approximately corresponded to those of late Imperial Russia, with the notable exclusions of Poland and most of Finland.As the largest and oldest constitutionally communist state in existence, the Soviet Union became the primary model for future communist nations during the Cold War; the government and the political organization of the country were defined by the only political party, the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.From 1945 until dissolution in 1991-a period known as the Cold War-the Soviet Union and the United States of America were the two world superpowers that dominated the global agenda of economic policy, foreign affairs, military operations, cultural exchange, scientific advancements including the pioneering of space exploration, and sports (including the Olympic Games and various world championships).Initially established as a union of four Soviet Socialist Republics, the USSR grew to contain 15 constituent or "union republics" by 1956: Armenian SSR, Azerbaijan SSR, Byelorussian SSR, Estonian SSR, Georgian SSR, Kazakh SSR, Kirghiz SSR, Latvian SSR, Lithuanian SSR, Moldavian SSR, Russian SFSR, Tajik SSR, Turkmen SSR, Ukrainian SSR and Uzbek SSR. (From annexation of the Estonian SSR on August 6, 1940 up to the reorganization of the Karelo-Finnish SSR into the Karelian ASSR on July 16, 1956, the count of "union republics" was sixteen.)The Russian Federation is the successor state to the USSR. Russia is the leading member of the Commonwealth of Independent States.
