The '''Republics of the Soviet Union'''- also officially the '''Union Republics''' for short, are the {{wp|Administrative division|first-level administrative divisions}} of the [[Soviet Union (TheodoresTomfooleries)|Union of Soviet Socialist Republics]]. They are constitutionally co-equal socialist republics based on national and {{wp|National delimitation in the Soviet Union|ethnic boundaries}}. The system was created when the Treaty of Creation became effective on 30 December, 1922; the first Union Republics were Russia, [[Ukrainian SSR (TheodoresTomfooleries)|Ukraine]], [[Byelorussian SSR (TheodoresTomfooleries)|Byelorussia]], and the {{wp|Transcaucasian Socialist Federative Soviet Republic|Transcaucasian SFSR}}.

Currently, there are 15 Soviet Republics, a number which has remained consistent since the establishment of the {{wp|Baltic states|Baltic republics}} as {{wp|Soviet republic (system of government)|soviet republics}} and the "promotion" of the {{wp|Moldavian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic}} to a [[Moldavian SSR (TheodoresTomfooleries)|full union republic]]. From 1940 to 1956, as a result of the {{wp|Winter War}} between the Soviet Union and {{wp|Finland}}, the {{wp|Karelo-Finnish Soviet Socialist Republic|Karelo-Finnish SSR}} was also a full Union Republic: it was unilaterally downgraded back to an [[Autonomous Republics of the Soviet Union (TheodoresTomfooleries)|ASSR]] in 1956. To this day, it is the only time that a Soviet republic has been downgraded back to a lower level administrative division.

The Union Republics hold the constitutional right to secede from the Union; a pleasure not shared by the Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republics. While the Union Republics represent the major ethnic groups of the Soviet Union, the Autonomous Republics are intended to represent {{wp|Minority groups|ethnic minorities}}. Most of the Autonomous Republics are located within the Russian SFSR- the only republic with a federal based government.

Currently, the number of union republics in the Soviet Union is 15, with the [[Karelian ASSR (TheodoresTomfooleries)|Karelian ASSR]] previously being its own union republic from 1940-1956. The Soviet Union does not list its republics in alphabetical order, instead choosing to list them in the order of which they appeared in the constitution.

The Republics of the Soviet Union- also officially the Union Republics for short, are the first-level administrative divisions of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. They are constitutionally co-equal socialist republics based on national and ethnic boundaries. The system was created when the Treaty of Creation became effective on 30 December, 1922; the first Union Republics were Russia, Ukraine, Byelorussia, and the Transcaucasian SFSR. Currently, there are 15 Soviet Republics, a number which has remained consistent since the establishment of the Baltic republics as soviet republics and the "promotion" of the Moldavian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic to a full union republic. From 1940 to 1956, as a result of the Winter War between the Soviet Union and Finland, the Karelo-Finnish ASSR was also a full Union Republic: it was unilaterally downgraded back to an ASSR in 1956. To this day, it is the only time that a Soviet republic has been downgraded back to a lower level administrative division.

The Union Republics hold the constitutional right to secede from the Union; a pleasure not shared by the Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republics. While the Union Republics represent the major ethnic groups of the Soviet Union, the Autonomous Republics are intended to represent ethnic minorities. Most of the Autonomous Republics are located within the Russian SFSR- the only republic with a federal based government.

Union Republics of the Soviet Union

Map of the Union Republics as numbered by the Soviet Constitution: 1. Russia, 2. Ukraine, 3. Byelorussia, 4. Uzbekistan, 5. Kazakhstan, 6. Kartvelia, 7. Azerbaijan, 8. Lithuania, 9. Moldavia, 10. Latvia, 11. Kirghizia, 12. Tadzhikistan, 13. Armenia, 14. Turkmenia, 15. Estonia

Currently, the number of union republics in the Soviet Union is 15, with the Karelian ASSR previously being its own union republic from 1940-1956. The Soviet Union does not list its republics in alphabetical order, instead choosing to list them in the order of which they appeared in the constitution.
