It was by far the largest sub-national entity in the world by area and 2nd in population after Uttar Pradesh, India. The capital was Moscow, also the capital of the Soviet Union.
History
[edit]Formation
[edit]The Soviet regime was established on November 7, 1917, following the October Revolution. In Russian official documents of the time it was referred to as Russian Republic, Soviet Republic (Russian: Советская Республика), or Russian Soviet Republic, among others. On July 10 1918 the 1918 Constitution was accepted, with the official name of 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 term Bolshevist Russia or Soviet Russia is commonly used for the period 1917–1922.
RSFSR was recognized internationally by only a few states: the Irish Republic, Estonia, Finland, Latvia and Lithuania. The four last-mentioned countries recognized RSFSR in the Treaty of Tartu, 1920.
In the USSR
[edit]The RSFSR became part of the Soviet Union in 1922, an act formalised by the 1924 Soviet Constitution.
On April 17, 1946 the Kaliningrad Oblast — the north of the former German province of East Prussia — was annexed by the USSR and made part of the Russian SFSR.
Nikita Khrushchev transferred Crimea from the Russian SFSR to the Ukrainian SSR in 1954.
