first time the name of the RSFSR appeared in 1918, it was used as the title of the world's first proletarian state, formed after the October Revolution of 1917.It lasted until the end of December 1991, when it was decided to rename the country the Russian Federation.So how was the formation of the RSFSR, the acronym stood for and what are the most important events taking place on its territory?All this is important to know though, because that to forecast the future of any country is possible only on the basis of knowledge about its history.
formation of a new state on the territory of the former Russian Empire
a result of the October Revolution, which some historians are inclined to believe the coup was declared a republic, and in January 1918, the Third Congress of Soviets adopted an important document - the Declaration, which proclaims the right of "workerand exploited the people. "In the same document, it announces that the new state is a federation, and after some time it began to use the designation abbreviation of the RSFSR, which sounded like a transcript of Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic.However, at that time the country has had no official character, nor a strong government capable of controlling all of its vast territory.
history (prior to the entry of the Soviet Union)
Between February and March 1918, a large part of the provinces of former Russian empire a Soviet government was installed, and the capital was declared in Petrograd instead of Moscow.To enhance its influence and to bury all hopes for the revival of monarchist autocracy in the country in July in Ekaterinburg Bolsheviks shot Nicholas II family.Interestingly, virtually the day after the entry into force of the first Constitution of the RSFSR.This event marked the end of a period of uncertainty, when the boundaries of the federal subjects are literally painted on the cards "by eye", and on the same site could simultaneously operate two or even three of the Board, as they were called, "workers", "soldiers" or "Peasants' Deputies.Thus, at the time the question about what is the Russian Federation, the correct answer was one - the first state in the world exploited people where going to build communism.
Civil War
Since the establishment of the RSFSR (decoding of this abbreviation is already known to you) and up until 1923 was in the Civil War and was subjected to intervention by the Entente.In addition, the new government had to suppress a rebellion Czechs and prevent the occupation of the Far East.Through tremendous effort and hundreds of thousands of victims of state workers and peasants could crush all pockets of resistance, and by mid-summer 1923, in a country at peace.
RSFSR in the first years after the USSR
Although the Bolshevik Party there were several points of view on the question of what principles should have been built a single multinational state, as a result of discussions, the group won the supporting Lenin.Thus, December 29, 1922 was formed the Soviet Union, all the republics which were considered equal and were free to withdraw from the Union.In this part of the Russian Federation at the time consisted of Bashkir Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic (founded in 1919), Tatar Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic (1920), the Mountain, the Crimean and Dagestan ASSR (1921), Yakut ASSR (1922), the Turkestan Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic and others.At the same time in 1923, it started an administrative and territorial reform, which led to a significant decrease in the area of the Russian SFSR.
RSFSR: the territory of the country before the start of the Great Patriotic War
In the years of its existence, Soviet Russia repeatedly changed its borders.In particular, in 1923 Don village Lugansk region, part of the RSFSR, became the center of the newly formed District of Lugansk region of Ukraine.More serious changes have occurred in the autumn of 1924, when the southern regions of the Turkestan ASSR was divided between the Uzbek SSR, which included the Tajik Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic and the Turkmen SSR.Total at the beginning of 1930 in the RSFSR was eleven republics, with a high degree of autonomy.This kind of freedom to address issues on the ground was only a declaration on paper and could not be implemented.
following redrawing the boundaries of the Russian Federation in the USSR have been identified in the new constitution of the Soviet Union, adopted in 1936, by which the composition of the federal republic had been withdrawn Kazakh, Kyrgyz and Karakalpak ASSR and in 1940 and the Karelian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic.By the way, this document is to this day considered one of the most democratic of the main laws in the world at the moment.
territorial transformations after the Second World War
In 1945, according to the Potsdam Agreement, Konigsberg special VO was transferred to the Soviet Union and the Russian Federation.It was one of the most important parts of the historic region of East Prussia, which was later transformed and renamed to the Kaliningrad region.Thus the boundaries of countries have moved to the West.
However, the most important territorial losses occurred in 1954, when part of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic passed the Crimean region of the RSFSR.This happened without the status of Sevastopol, which at that time was a city of republican subordination of Soviet Russia.In addition, in July 1956 as part of the Russian Federation it has been restored to enter other national territorial Karelian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic.
the RSFSR at the time of formation of the Russian Federation
By 25 December 1993 the Russian Federation was of the Ingush, Chechen, Karachay-Cherkessia, Chuvashia, Udmurtia, Kabardino-Balkaria Republic, as well as the republics of Bashkortostan, Buryatia, Dagestan, Kalmykia, Karelia, Mari El, Tatarstan, Sakha (Yakutia), Tuva, Adygea, Altai Mountains, Khakassia, Komi, and others. Thus, the answer to the question, what is the Russian Federation and from any entities it was at the time of the collapse of the Soviet Union, is: it is a federalstate, consisting of a large number of regions, territories and republics with equal rights and status.
the end of December 1991 in Moscow adopted a declaration, which proclaimed the demise of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and the Russian Federation (at the time of the RSFSR) was recognized as the legal successor of the former Soviet Union and took its place in the international organizations.
Now you know that the Russian Federation - is the abbreviation, which is used to refer to first world's first "state of victorious socialism", and later - one of the republics of the Soviet Union, the successor of which is today our country.
