Flag of the Far Eastern Republic

Flag of the Far Eastern Republic.

The Far Eastern Republic (Russian: Дальневосто́чная Респу́блика, ДВР; romanised: Dalnevostochnaya Respublika, DVR), sometimes called the Chita Republic, was in OTL a nominally independent state established at Blagoveshchensk, covering the former Russian Far East and Siberia east of Lake Baikal on April 6, 1920. Although nominally independent, it was largely controlled by the RSFSR.

It occupied the territory of modern Zabaykalsky Krai, Amur Oblast, Khabarovsk Krai, and Primorsky Krai of Russia (was: Transbaikal, Amur, and Primorsky oblasts). Before October 1920, its capital was Verkhneudinsk (now Ulan-Ude), and after that date it was Chita.

After the Japanese evacuated Vladivostok, on November 15, 1922, by a Decree of VTsIK, the Far Eastern Republic was merged with the RSFSR.
