The Chechen-Ingush Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, or Chechen-Ingush ASSR (Chechen: Нохч-ГІалгІайн Автономнин Советски Социалистически Республика, Noxç-Ġalġayn Avtonomnin Sovetski Socialistiçeski Respublika; Russian: Чече́но-Ингу́шская Автономная Советская Социалистическая Республика, Čečeno-Ingušskaja Avtonomnaja Sovetskaja Socialističeskaja Respublika) was an autonomous republic within the Russian SFSR. Its capital was Grozny.
As of 1979 census, its territory was 19,300 km² and population of 1,155,805 (1979 Census): 611,405 being Chechens, 134,744 Ingushes, the rest being Russians and other ethnic groups.
In 1810, the historical Ingushetia voluntarily joined Imperial Russia, and in 1859 the historical Chechnya was annexed to Russia as well, during the long Caucasian war of 1817–64.
After the Russian Revolution of 1917, on January 20, 1921, Chechnya and Ingushetia joined the Mountain soviet republic. Partition of the Mountain ASSR began shortly after it was formed, and its Chechen District was separated on November 30, 1922 as Chechen Autonomous Oblast. On July 7, 1924, the remains of the Mountain ASSR were split into North Ossetian Autonomous Oblast and Ingush Autonomous Oblast. On January 15, 1934, Chechen and Ingush Autonomous Oblasts were joined into Chechen-Ingush Autonomous Oblast, which was elevated in status to that of an ASSR (Chechen-Ingush ASSR) on December 5, 1936.
