The Buryat Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic (Russian: Бурятская Автономная Советская Социалистическая Республика; Buryat: Буряадай Автономито Совет Социалис Республика), abbreviated as Buryat ASSR (Russian: Бурятская АССР; Buryat: Буряадай АССР), was an Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic of the Russian SFSR of the Soviet Union.
