Idel-Ural State

The Idel-Ural State (Tatar: Идел-Урал өлкәсе, İdel-Ural ölkäse, إِديل-اٗورال ئۈلكەسىٰ, also İdel-Ural berlege İdel-Ural ştatı), also known as the Volga-Ural State or Idel-Ural Republic, was an unsuccessful attempt of the autonomy of Tatar peoples that claimed to unite Tatars, Bashkirs, the Chuvash in the turmoil of the Russian Civil War. The republic was proclaimed on 1 March 1918, by a Congress of Muslims from Russia's interior and Siberia, but defeated by Bolsheviks the same month.
