Far Eastern Republic

Far Eastern Republic was a state in Eastern Siberia and the Far East (Central and North Asia) that lasted from 1920 to 1922 CE, about 2 years. Its people spoke Slavic languages (Russian, Polish, Czech, Serbian, Bulgarian, Ukrainian).

A nominally independent buffer state set up by Moscow while Japanese troops occupied Vladivostok. It merged into Soviet Russia in November 1922, weeks after the Japanese left.
