Bashkir ASSR (Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic)
City of Sterlitamak. 1966
Sterlitamak was part of the Bashkir ASSR from its formation in 1919 and played a key role in the history of Soviet autonomy. The city occupied a crucial place in the republic's structure at various historical periods: Capital status (1919–1922): It was in Sterlitamak that the History of the Bashkir ASSR was proclaimed, and the city served as its first capital until the government moved to Ufa. ASSR center: In subsequent decades, Sterlitamak had the status of a city of republican subordination and remained the administrative center of the district of the same name within the Bashkir ASSR. Regional center (1952–1953): For a brief period, it was part of the Sterlitamak Oblast, which was formed within the Bashkir ASSR, but was soon abolished..
