Terek Soviet Republic

The Terek Soviet Republic, or Terek People's Republic, was a short-lived republic on the territory of the former 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.
The economist Jacob Marschak served as Secretary of Labour, despite being only a 19-year-old student.
After internal struggles, it was conquered by the Volunteer Army led by Anton Denikin in early 1919.
