Terek Soviet Republic


Terek Soviet Republic or Terek People's Republic was a short-lived republic on the territory of the today Terek Oblast. Its capital was first Pyatigorsk, and later Vladikavkaz. After July 1918 it was part of the North Caucasian Soviet Republic.
In contrast to other Soviet republics, the Republic was a coalition government.
