[edit] Early years

 

The Soviet regime was established on 7 November 1917, following the October Revolution. In Russian official documents of the time. it was referred to as the Russian Republic (Российская республика),[10] 'Soviet Republic (Советская Республика), or Russian Soviet Republic, among others.[citation needed]

 

On 10 July 1918, the 1918 Constitution was adopted, with the official name of the Russian Socialist Federative Soviet Republic; the most recent variant of the name (with "Socialist" and "Soviet" swapped) was adopted in the 1937 Constitution.

 

In English, the terms Bolshevist Russia or Soviet Russia were commonly used in the period from 1917 to 1922.[citation needed] Opponents of Bolsheviks also used the derogatory term Sovdepia or Sovdepiya (Совдепия),[11] i.e., "the land of sovdeps". "Sovdep" is a contraction of the Russian term, "Sovet Deputatov" (Совет Депутатов, совдеп), "Council of Deputies", which was the governmental body at local levels.

 

The RSFSR was recognized as an independent state internationally by only Estonia, Finland, Latvia, and Lithuania, in the Treaty of Tartu in 1920.

Main articles: History of Soviet Russia and the Soviet Union (1917–1927), History of the Soviet Union (1927–1953), History of the Soviet Union (1953–1985), and History of the Soviet Union (1985–1991)

[edit] 1920s

 

On 30 December 1922, the First Congress of the Soviets of the USSR approved the Treaty of Creation of the USSR, by which Russia was united with the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic, and Transcaucasian Soviet Federal Socialist Republic into a single federal state, the Soviet Union. Later treaty was included in the 1924 Soviet Constitution,[clarification needed] adopted on 31 January 1924 by the Second Congress of Soviets of the USSR.

 

The third article of the 1925 Constitution of the RSFSR states the following[12]:

 

According to a quotation will of the peoples of the Russian Socialist Federative Soviet Republic, have decided to Tenth All-Russian Congress of Soviets on the formation of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the Russian Socialist Federal Soviet republics of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the transmit powers of the Union, classified in accordance with Article 1 of the Constitution of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the purview of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.

 

[edit] 1930s

 

Many regions in Russia were affected by the Soviet famine of 1932–1933: Volga, Central Black Soil Region, North Caucasus, the Urals, the Crimea, part of Western Siberia, and the Kazakh ASSR.

 

With the adoption of the 1936 Soviet Constitution on 5 December 1936, the size of the RSFSR was significantly reduced. The Kazakh ASSR and Kirghiz ASSR were transformed into the Kazakh SSR and Kirghiz Soviet Socialist Republic. The Karakalpak Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic was transferred to the Uzbek SSR.

 

The Russian Constitution of 1937 changed the order of words in the official name of the RSFSR to the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic.

[edit] 1940s

On 17 April 1946, the Kaliningrad Oblast—the northern portion of the former German province of East Prussia—was annexed by the Soviet Union and made part of the Russian SFSR.

[edit] 1950s

 

Nikita Khrushchev transferred Crimea from the Russian SFSR to the Ukrainian SSR in 1954.

 

The Karelo-Finnish SSR was transferred back to the RSFSR as the Karelian ASSR in 1956.

[edit] Early 1990s

Flag adopted by the Russian SFSR national parliament in 1991

Main articles: Declaration of State Sovereignty of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic, 1991 Soviet coup d'etat attempt, and Belavezha Accords

 

On 29 May 1990, on his third attempt, Boris Yeltsin was elected the chairman of the Supreme Soviet of the Russian SFSR.

 

On 12 June 1990, the Congress of People's Deputies of the Republic adopted the Declaration of State Sovereignty of the Russian SFSR, which was the beginning of the "War of Laws", pitting the Soviet Union against the Russian Federation and other constituent republics.

 

On 17 March 1991, an all-Russian referendum created the post of President of the RSFSR. On 12 June, Boris Yeltsin was elected President of Russia by popular vote.

 

During an unsuccessful coup attempt on 19–21 August 1991 in Moscow, the capital of the Soviet Union and Russia, President of Russia Yeltsin strongly supported the President of the USSR, Mikhail Gorbachev. On 23 August, after the failure of GKChP, in the presence of Gorbachev, Yeltsin signed a decree suspending all activity by the Communist Party of the Russian SFSR in the territory of Russia.[13] On 6 November, he went further, banning the Communist Parties of the USSR and the RSFSR from the territory of the RSFSR.[14]

 

On 8 December 1991, at Viskuli near Brest (Belarus), the President of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic and the heads of Byelorussian SSR and Ukrainian SSR signed the "Agreement on the Establishment of the Commonwealth of Independent States" (known in media as Belavezha Accords). The document, consisting of a preamble and fourteen articles, stated that the Soviet Union ceased to exist as a subject of international law and geopolitical realities. However, based on the historical community of peoples, relations between them, given the bilateral treaties, the desire for a democratic rule of law, the intention to develop their relations based on mutual recognition and respect for state sovereignty, the parties agreed to the formation of the Commonwealth of Independent States. On 12 December, the agreement was ratified by the Supreme Soviet of the Russian SFSR (the Russian parliament ratified the document by an overwhelming majority: 188 votes for, 6 against, 7 abstentions). On the same day, the Supreme Soviet of the Russian SFSR denounced the Treaty on the Creation of the USSR and recalled all Russian deputies from the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union. The legality of this act is the subject of formal discussions because, by the 1978 Constitution (Basic Law) of the Russian SFSR, the Russian SFSR had no right to do so.

 

On 24 December, the President of the Russian Federation informed the Secretary-General of the United Nations that the Russian Federation would assume the membership of the Soviet Union in all UN organs (including membership in the UN Security Council). Thus, Russia is considered to be an original member of the UN (since 24 October 1945) along with Ukraine (Ukrainian SSR) and Belarus (Byelorussian SSR).

 

On 25 December, the Russian SFSR was renamed the Russian Federation by a special law.[3] The act came into force on the date of adoption, but was originally published on 6 January 1992 (Rossiyskaya Gazeta). According to law, during 1992, it was allowed to use the old name of the RSFSR for official business (forms, seals and stamps).

 

The name "Russian Federation" as a reduction of the phrase "Russian Soviet Federative Republic" was used in Soviet times as well.[15]
