Uzbek Soviet Socialist Republic

 

"Uzbek Soviet Socialist Republic and later, the Republic of Uzbekistan that refers to the period of Uzbekistan from 1924 to 1991 as one of the constituent republics of the Soviet Union.  It was governed by the Uzbek branch of the Soviet Communist Party, the legal political party, from 1925 until 1990. From 1990 to 1991, it was a sovereign part of the Soviet Union with its own legislation. Sometimes, that period is also referred to as Soviet Uzbekistan. Beginning 20 June 1990, the Uzbek SSR adopted the Declaration of State Sovereignty within its borders.  Islam Karimov became the republic's inaugural president.  On 31 August 1991, the Uzbek SSR was renamed the Republic of Uzbekistan and declared independence three months before the Soviet Union's dissolution on 26 December 1991."
