The Kirghiz ASSR was created on 1 February 1926, roughly six years later than the Kazakh ASSR, in the former region of Soviet Central Asia, within the Russian SFSR, when the Kirghiz AO was reorganized as an ASSR.[2][3]
On 5 December 1936, it was elevated to the Kirghiz SSR (independent of the Russian SFSR), one of the constituent republics of the Soviet Union.[4]
