Первая Республика

Formation of the Bashkir Republic – Russia's first national autonomy. Farman ('Order') No. 1: "Due to the fact that on October 25, 1917, the Provisional Government of Russia was overthrown by the Bolshevik Party, internecine wars began in Russia (...). We are neither Bolsheviks nor Mensheviks, we are simply Bashkirs (...).
