Yakut revolt (1918)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the 1921–1923 Yakut revolt, see Yakut revolt (1921).
The Yakut revolt of 1917-18 was the rejection of Bolshevik rule by the Yakut people of far eastern Russia during the early stages of the Russian Civil War, culminating in the establishment of an independent Yakut republic (or Yakutia) in 1918. Yakutia was short-lived, being declared in February 1918 during the Russian Civil War, and being dissolved following a Bolshevik intervention in July 1918. It was coterminous with the present day Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), a Russian constituent republic. Yakutia's capital was Yakutsk.
