Transcaucasian Socialist Federative Soviet Republic

The Transcaucasian Socialist Federal Soviet Republic (Russian Закавказская Социалистическая Федеративная Советская Республика ( ЗСФСР ) ) was founded on 13 December 1922. It arose from the conversion of proclaimed in Tbilisi on March 12, 1922 Federal Union of the Transcaucasian Soviet Socialist Republics, a federation of states into a federal state.

Tbilisi was also the capital.

Foundation

The Azerbaijani, Armenian and Georgian SSR, the states of the Transcaucasian Federation of 1918, united to form the Union of the Transcaucasian Federative Soviet Socialist Republics ( Soviet Socialist Republics Federation and Transcaucasia ). This federation was only an intermediate stage, so that the three republics merged to the Transcaucasian Soviet Federated Socialist Republic ( TSFSR ) on 13 December 1922.

On December 30, 1922, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics ( USSR) was established by the Russian SFSR, the Ukrainian SSR, the Byelorussian SSR and the Transcaucasian SFSR.

Development

The Transcaucasian SFSR was a composite of the Armenian SSR, Azerbaijan SSR, and Georgian SSR. The Abkhazian Soviet Socialist Republic was treated in the formation of TSFSR on the same level as the Georgian state itself as an equal part of the Federation, this was an independent SSR since 4 March 1921.

Resolution

Strong criticism of this union came from Georgian and Azerbaijani communists, so it was dissolved on December 5, 1936 on the instigation of Beria. Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan were included as again independent republics in the Soviet Union, Abkhazia was incorporated into the Georgian SSR.
