Kirghiz SSR (Kirghiz Soviet Socialist Republic) also known as Kirghizia was the name for Kyrgyzstan during its time as part of the USSR. Established on October 14, 1924 as the Kara-Kirghiz AO (Autonomous Oblast) of the Russian SFSR, it was transformed into the Kirghiz ASSR on February 1, 1926, still being a part of the Russian SFSR. On December 5, 1936 it became a separate constituent republic of the USSR. It declared independence on August 31, 1991, having been renamed as Republic of Kyrgyzstan a day before.
