Bondaletov 90 killed The 1918 Yakut revolt was the rejection of Bolshevik rule by the Yakut people of far eastern Russia during the early stages of the Russian Civil War, culminating in the establishment of an independent Yakut Republic (or Yakutia) in 1918. Yakutia was short-lived, being declared in February 1918 during the Russian Civil War, and being dissolved following a Bolshevik intervention in July 1918. It was coterminous with the present day Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), a Russian constituent republic. Yakutia's capital was Yakutsk. Course of events After the February Revolution of 1917 in Russia, ethnic Yakuts began politically organizing and forming their own local committees. Following the Bolshevik seizure of power during the October Revolution of 1917, the Yakut committees were merged into an anti-Bolshevik autonomous regional administration, the "Yakut Committee to Safeguard the Revolution". After the formal proclamation of the Russian Soviet Republic in January 1918, the Committee declared the independence of Yakutia in reaction to these events. This independent government was overthrown on July 1http://www.cosmicelk.net/1917on.htm Yakutia-from 1917 by the intervention of Soviet troops from Irkutsk led by A. S.
