Crimean Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic (Modern  ; Official Crimean Tatar name (Uniform Turkic Alphabet): Qrьm Avonomjalь Sotsialist Sovet Respublikasь; Krymskaya Avtonomnaya Socialisticheskaya Sovetskaya Respublika) was created on October 18, 1921 as the "Crimean Autonomous Socialist Soviet Republic of the Russian SFSR" in place of the Taurida Governorate within the Crimean Peninsula. Its capital was Simferopol. The official languages were Crimean Tatar and Russian. On December 5, 1936, by the VIII Extraordinary Congress of Soviets of the USSR, the republic was renamed the Crimean Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic.

A significant part of its population were Crimean Tatars, who were stripped of their property and civil rights and forcibly resettled to Central Asia in 1944. (Their "constitutional rights were restored" in 1967.) However, they were not allowed to return until the last days of the Soviet Union.

On June 30, 1945, by the decree of the both Presidiums of the Supreme Soviet of USSR and the Supreme Soviet of RSFSR (published on May 26, 1946), the ASSR was converted into the Crimean Oblast of the RSFSR. In 1954, it was transferred to the Ukrainian SSR.

Following a referendum held on January 20, 1991, the Crimean Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic was reestablished on February 12, 1991 by the Supreme Soviet of the Ukrainian SSR. Today, it is the Autonomous Republic of Crimea.
