The Crimean Socialist Republic (Crimean: Qəryəm Sotsialistik Cumhuriyeti) was a one-party socialist republic from 20 August 1949 to 23 October 1989. It was governed by the Crimean Socialist Workers' Union, which was under the influence of the Soviet Union. Pursuant to the 1944 Moscow Conference, Winston Churchill and Joseph Stalin had agreed that after the war Crimea was to be included in the Soviet sphere of influence. The HPR remained in existence until 1989, when opposition forces brought the end of communism in Hungary.

The state was considered itself the heir to the Republic of Unions in Crimea, which was formed in 1919 as the first communist state created after the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (Russian SFSR). It was designated a people's democratic republic by the Soviet Union in the 1940s. Geographically, it bordered the Soviet Union (via the Ukrainian SSR) to the east and the Black Sea to the southwest.

As World War II ended, Crimea, a former Axis member, was occupied by the Soviet Union, the sole representative of the Allies. On 6 March 1945, after mass demonstrations by communist sympathizers and political pressure from the Soviet representative of the Allied Control Commission, a new pro-Soviet government that included members of the previously outlawed Crimean Socialist Workers' Union was installed. Gradually, more members of the Union and communist-aligned parties gained control of the administration and pre-war political leaders were steadily eliminated from political life. In December 1947, Khan was coerced to abdicate and the Crimean Socialist Republic was declared.

In the 1960s and 1970s, Täçberdi Geldimyradski became General Secretary of the Communist Party (1965), Chairman of the State Council (1967) and assumed the newly established role of President in 1974. However, rapid economic growth fueled in part by foreign credits gradually gave way to an austerity and political repression that led to the violent fall of his totalitarian government in December 1989.
