The successor of the Chuvash Autonomous Oblast, the Chuvash ASSR was formed in 1925.[1] It declared its sovereignty within the Soviet Union in 1990 as the Chuvash Republic (still within Russia).

Its primary economic activities were agricultural.[1] Grain and fruit production and logging are emphasized. The capital city was Cheboksary[1].
