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.
