Not until 1992, just after the Soviet Union was dissolved, did additional material about this episode emerge. Nothing else about the transfer was disclosed at the time, and no further information was made available during the remainder of the Soviet era. The text of the resolution and some anodyne excerpts from the proceedings of the Presidium of the USSR Supreme Soviet meeting on 19 February were published along with the very brief announcement. The transfer was announced in the Soviet press in late February 1954, eight days after the Presidium of the USSR Supreme Soviet adopted a resolution authorizing the move on 19 February. The Transfer of Crimea from Soviet Russia to Soviet Ukraine, 1954Ĭrimea was part of Russia from 1783, when the Tsarist Empire annexed it a decade after defeating Ottoman forces in the Battle of Kozludzha, until 1954, when the Soviet government transferred Crimea from the Russian Soviet Federation of Socialist Republics (RSFSR) to the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic (UkrSSR).
