Honored Allies Wednesday: Azerbaijan Soviet Socialist Republic (USSR)

 

Azerbaijan Soviet Socialist Republic

 

"Azerbaijan, officially the Azerbaijan Soviet Socialist Republic, also referred to as Soviet Azerbaijan, was one of the constituent republics of the Soviet Union between 1922 and 1991.  Created on 28 April 1920 when the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic brought pro-Soviet figures to power in the region, the first two years of the Azerbaijani SSR were as an independent country until incorporation into the Transcausasian SFSR, along with the Armenian SSR and the Georgian SSR." 

Another Republic honored by Lenin!
