Located in [[Central Asia]], the Tajik SSR was established on [[October 14]] [[1924]], initially it was called [[Tajik ASSR]] and was a part of [[Uzbek SSR]]. On [[December 5]] [[1929]] it was transformed into a separate republic of the Soviet Union. On [[September 9]] [[1991]], it declared independence from the Soviet Union and was renamed the "Republic of [[Tajikistan]]." == History == One of the new states created in Central Asia in 1924 was Uzbekistan, which had the status of a Soviet socialist republic. Tajikistan was created as an autonomous Soviet socialist republic within Uzbekistan. The new autonomous republic included what had been eastern [[Bukhara]] and had a population of about 740,000, out of a total population of nearly 5 million in Uzbekistan as a whole. Its capital was established in [[Dushanbe]], which had been a village of 3,000 in 1920. In 1929 Tajikistan was detached from Uzbekistan and given full status as a [[Republics of the Soviet Union|Soviet Socialist Republic]]. At that time, the territory that is now northern Tajikistan was added to the new republic. Even with the additional territory, Tajikistan remained the smallest [[Central Asia]]n republic. With the creation of a republic defined in national terms came the creation of institutions that, at least in form, were likewise national. The first Tajik-language newspaper in Soviet Tajikistan began publication in 1926. New educational institutions also began operation about the same time. The first state schools, available to both children and adults and designed to provide a basic education, opened in 1926. The central government also trained a small number of Tajiks for public office, either by putting them through courses offered by government departments or by sending them to schools in Uzbekistan. ==References== # ''This article incorporates [[public domain]] text from the [[Library of Congress Country Studies]].'' - [http://countrystudies.us/tajikistan/ Tajikistan] {{Soviet Republics}} {{CAsia-hist-stub}} {{Tajikistan-geo-stub}} {{Soviet-stub}} [[Category:Soviet Republics]] [[Category:History of Tajikistan]] [[az:Tacikistan Sovet Sosialist Respublikası]] [[br:RSS Tadjikistan]] [[bg:Таджикска съветска социалистическа република]] [[ca:República Socialista Soviètica del Tadjikistan]] [[cs:Tádžická sovětská socialistická republika]] [[de:Tadschikische SSR]] [[et:Tadžiki NSV]] [[es:República Socialista Soviética de Tayikistán]] [[fa:جمهوری شوروی سوسیالیستی تاجیکستان]] [[fr:République socialiste soviétique du Tadjikistan]] [[gv:Pobblaght Hoveidjagh Hoshiallagh ny Tajikistaan]] [[ko:타지크 소비에트 사회주의 공화국]] [[id:RSS Tajikistan]] [[it:RSS Tagika]] [[lv:Tadžikijas PSR]] [[lt:Tadžikijos TSR]] [[mk:Таџикска ССР]] [[nl:Tadzjiekse Socialistische Sovjetrepubliek]] [[ja:タジク・ソビエト社会主義共和国]] [[no:Den tadsjikiske sosialistiske sovjetrepublikk]] [[pl:Tadżycka Socjalistyczna Republika Radziecka]] [[pt:República Socialista Soviética Tadjique]] [[ro:Republica Sovietică Socialistă Tadjikă]] [[ru:Таджикская Советская Социалистическая Республика]] [[fi:Tadžikistanin sosialistinen neuvostotasavalta]] [[sv:Tadzjikiska SSR]] [[vi:Cộng hòa Xã hội Chủ nghĩa Xô viết Tajikistan]] [[tg:Республикаи Советии Социалистии Тоҷикистон]] [[tr:Tacikistan Sovyet Sosyalist Cumhuriyeti]] [[zh:塔吉克苏维埃社会主义共和国]]
