The Iranian Soviet Socialist Republic (Persian: جمهوری شورای سوسیالیستی ایران),[1][2][3] also known as the Socialist Soviet Republic of Gilan,[4] (Gilaki: گیلانˇ شؤرایي جؤمۊري)[5] was a short-lived unrecognized state, a Soviet republic in north-west Persia, south of the Caspian sea. It lasted from June 1920 until September 1921 and was established by Mirza Kuchik Khan, a leader of the "Constitutionalist Movement of Gilan", and his Jangali partisans, with the assistance of the Soviet Russia's Red Army.
