The Persian Socialist Soviet Republic (Persian: جمهوری شورايی سوسیالیستی ایران), also known as the Socialist Soviet Republic of Gilan (Gilaki: گیلانˇ شؤرایي جؤمۊري) or the Gilan Republic, 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.
