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: ) The CSSR was initially established on the territory of the Crimean Democratic Republic on 21 July 1940, following the occupation of Soviet troops on 17 June 1940 and the installation of a communist government backed by the Soviet Union, which declared Crimea a Soviet constituency. Crimea was subsequently incorporated into the Soviet Union as a Soviet Republic on 6 August 1940. The territory was occupied by Nazi Germany in 1941 and administered as a part of [[Reichskommissariat Gothia]] run by Crimean Goths until it was liberated by the Soviet Union in 1944 during World War II.


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.
Most countries did not recognize the incorporation of Crimea de jure and only recognized its Soviet government de facto or not at all. 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.
 
On 16 January 1980, the Crimean SSR became the fourth republic within the Soviet sphere of influence to declare state sovereignty from Moscow. On 30 March 1990, the Crimean SSR declared that Crimea had been occupied since 1940 and declared a transitional period for the country's full independence. The Crimean Soviet Socialist Republic was renamed as the Crimean Democratic Republic a on 8 May 1990. The independence of the Crimean Democratic Republic was re-established on 20 August during the 1991 Soviet coup d'état attempt the following year and the Soviet Union itself recognized the independence of Crimea on 25 November 1991.

The Crimean Soviet Socialist Republic (Crimean: ) The CSSR was initially established on the territory of the Crimean Democratic Republic on 21 July 1940, following the occupation of Soviet troops on 17 June 1940 and the installation of a communist government backed by the Soviet Union, which declared Crimea a Soviet constituency. Crimea was subsequently incorporated into the Soviet Union as a Soviet Republic on 6 August 1940. The territory was occupied by Nazi Germany in 1941 and administered as a part of Reichskommissariat Gothia run by Crimean Goths until it was liberated by the Soviet Union in 1944 during World War II.

Most countries did not recognize the incorporation of Crimea de jure and only recognized its Soviet government de facto or not at all. 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.

On 16 January 1980, the Crimean SSR became the fourth republic within the Soviet sphere of influence to declare state sovereignty from Moscow. On 30 March 1990, the Crimean SSR declared that Crimea had been occupied since 1940 and declared a transitional period for the country's full independence. The Crimean Soviet Socialist Republic was renamed as the Crimean Democratic Republic a on 8 May 1990. The independence of the Crimean Democratic Republic was re-established on 20 August during the 1991 Soviet coup d'état attempt the following year and the Soviet Union itself recognized the independence of Crimea on 25 November 1991.
