The Chuvash Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic[a] was an autonomous republic of the Russian SFSR within the Soviet Union.
It occupied about 18,000 square kilometres (6,900 square miles) along the east bank of the Volga River, about 60 kilometres (37 miles) west of the river's confluence with the Kama River and some 700 kilometres (430 miles) east of Moscow.[citation needed]
The successor of the Chuvash Autonomous Oblast, the Chuvash ASSR was formed in 1925.[1] It declared its sovereignty within the Soviet Union on October 24, 1990 as the Chuvash Soviet Socialist Republic.[2].
Its primary economic activities were agricultural.[1] Grain and fruit production and logging are emphasized.[citation needed] The capital city was Cheboksary.[1]
