The '''Crimean Soviet Socialist Republic''', literally the '''Republic of Unions in Crimea''' (Crimean: ) was a short-lived (133 days) small communist rump state. When the Republic of Councils in Crimea was established in 1919, it controlled only approximately 23% of the territory of Crimea's classic pre-World War I territories (325 411 km²).


The '''Crimean Soviet Socialist Republic''' ('''Crimean SSR''' or '''CSSR'''; Crimean: ''Qəryəm Sovet Sotsialistik Respubbikası'' QSSR; Russian: Крымская Советская Социалистическая Республика КССР, ''Krymskaya Sovetskaya Sotsialisticheskaya Respublika'': KSSR) referred to as '''Crimea''' or '''Soviet Crimea''' was a republic of the Soviet Union.
It was the successor of the first [[Crimean Socialist Republic]] and lasted only from 21 March to 1 August 1919. Though the de jure leader of the Hungarian Soviet Republic was president Sándor Garbai, the de facto power was in the hands of foreign minister Béla Kun, who maintained direct contact with Lenin via radiotelegraph. It was Lenin who gave the direct orders and advice to Béla Kun via constant radio communication with the Kremlin. It was the third socialist state in the world to be formed, only preceded by the October Revolution in Russia which brought the Bolsheviks to power and the Hungarian Soviet Republic. The Crimean Republic of Unions in Crimea was in a military conflict with the Kingdom of Romania. It ended on 1 August 1919 when Crimeans sent representatives to negotiate their surrender to the Romanian forces. Due to the mistranslation, it is often referred to as "Crimean Soviet republic" in English sources, despite the literal name was "Republic of Unions in Crimea" to avoid any strong ethnic connotation with Crimean people.
 
The CSSR was initially established on the territory of the [[Crimea|Crimean Democratic Republic]] on 21 July 1940, following the invasion of Soviet troops on 17 June 1940, during the Red Coup, and the installation of an illegitimate communist government backed by the Soviet Union, which declared Crimea a Soviet constituency. The Crimea SSR was subsequently incorporated into the Soviet Union as a Soviet Republic on 6 August 1940. The territory was occupied by Nazi Germany from 1941 to 1944 and administered as a part of {{wp|Reichskommissariat Ukraine}}.
 
Most countries [[State continuity of Crimea|did not recognize]] the incorporation of Crimea de jure. A number of countries continued to recognize Crimean diplomats and consuls who still functioned in the name of their former government. This policy of non-recognition gave rise to the principle of legal continuity, which held that de jure, Crimea remained an independent state under occupation throughout the period 1940–91
 
Soviet rule came to the end during the dissolution of the Soviet Union. The first freely elected parliament of the Crimean SSR passed a declaration "On the Renewal of the Independence of the Crimean Democratic Republic" on 21 August 1990, restoring the official name of the State of Crimea as the '''Crimean Democratic Republic'''. The full independence of the Crimean Democratic Republic was restored on December 14, 1991, the second to last to declare independence. 12 days later, the Soviet Union cease to exist.

Crimea was next in line, as the USSR demanded the signing of a similar treaty. The government of Mintimer Waxitov however refused, which resulted in a coup by pro-Soviet officers in the Crimean Army, led by General Möbin Zainullin.
