The federation was a personal project of Viktor Shchyukin, who believed that the only way to keep the Dulebian state stable after the worker's revolution was to give its ethnic minorities a decree of autonomy in their internal politics, while consolidating power around the central region on the country and focusing the nomenclature in Ulich. During the opening stages of the civil war most high-ranked officials tended to agree with Shchyukin's plan. However, as the war progressed, it became clear that once the fight is over, giving autonomy to the minorities, especially in the south of the country, would destabilize the country and higher the risks of foreign intervention and a new civil war. On the secret meeting of the Worker's Soviet in June 1916 it was agreed that the federative republic, headed by Shchyukin, would be preserved only until the end of the armed conflict, as the rebellous southern republics still were very valuable allies against the Royalists. According to the agreement, once the civil war was over Shchyukin would have been removed from his post by all means and marshall Konev would take his post, dissolving the federative structure and establishing an unitary state while dealing with any opposition within the country.

The Dulebian civil war officially ended on 5 November 1918. In December 1918, a group of commissars led by Konev offered Shchyukin to leave his post at his own will and hand all power to Konev, to which he refused. Three months later, in April 1919, Shchyukin died in mysterious circumstances, "killed by a Krumlauvinan spy" according to the Dulebian version, in reality most probably poisoned by Konev during a banquet of high-ranked officials. In the following days all power was handed to Konev, who officially dissolved the federation on 12 April 1919, beginning a series of political reforms and repressions known in Dulebian history as Konev's Reformation.

The Dulebian Federative Socialist Republic (Dulebian Дулебская Федеративная Социалистическая Республика, tr. Dulebskaya Federativnaya Sotsialisticheskaya Respublika) was a short-lived state proclaimed in 1914 following the January Revolution in the Dulebian Empire and the dethronement of emperor Alexander III. It de jure controlled the territory of the former Dulebian Empire during its participation in the Great War. Its borders were set in May 1914 following the Treaty of Ulich with Lavaria and the formal defeat in the Great War.

Political structure

According to the beliefs of Viktor Shchyukin, the new proletarian state was constructed as a federation. The territory of the country was separated into 6 states, known as autonomous socialist republics: the Dulebian ASSR, Volyna ASSR, Karsk ASSR, Northern ASSR, Rilivo-Verkhoyansk ASSR and Balkarian ASSR. Each republic was ruled by a soviet of workers and peasants, while the legislative body of the country as a whole was situated in the old imperial capital of Ulich, and received the name Supreme Soviet of the Workers and Peasants. While all parties were not officially banned on the territory of the state under Shchyukin, the ones which opposed the soviets during the civil war could not get any representation in the republican soviets and, subsequently, in the supreme soviet.
