Bessarabian Soviet Socialist Republic
Former Soviet republic / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Bessarabian Soviet Socialist Republic or Bessarabian SSR (Romanian: Republica Sovietică Socialistă Basarabeană, RSS Basarabeană; Russian: Бессарабская Советская Социалистическая Республика, romanized: Bessarabskaya Sovetskaya Sotsialisticheskaya Respublika, Бессарабская ССР, Bessarabskaya SSR) was a revolutionary committee created under the patronage of Soviet Russia to establish a Soviet republic within Bessarabia. The only Bessarabian territory under the committee's control was the town of Bender during the uprising of 27−28 May 1919. While the government was disbanded later in 1919, the idea was revived during the Tatarbunary Uprising, when another committee held control over some villages in southern Bessarabia for a few days in September 1924.
