The '''Kirghiz Autonomous Socialist Soviet Republic''' was an autonomous republic of the [[Soviet Union]] within the [[Russian Socialist Federative Soviet Republic]] existing from 1920 until 1925 on the [[Kazakh Khanate|traditionally Kazakh territories]], when it took the name of [[Kazak Autonomous Socialist Soviet Republic]]. Russian governors of the Central Asia were prone to confuse [[Kazakhs|Kazakh]] and [[Kyrgyz people|Kirghiz]] ethnicities, which led to misnaming of the region. In fact the Kirghiz lands and Kazakh ones bordering them at that time were part of [[Turkestan Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic|Turkestan ASSR]].
