Encyclopedic overview
The Slovak Soviet Republic (Slovak: Slovenská republika rád, Hungarian: Szlovák Tanácsköztársaság, Ukrainian: Словацька Радянська Республіка, romanized: Slovatska Radianska Respublika, lit. 'Slovak Republic of Councils') was a short-lived communist state in southeastern Slovakia in existence from 16 June 1919 to 7 July 1919. Its capital city was Prešov, and it was established and headed by Czech journalist Antonín Janoušek. It was the fourth communist state created in history.
The Slovak Soviet Republic was created under the influence of the Hungarian Soviet Republic during the transitional wave of communist protests and revolutions after the October Revolution in 1917 and World War I. It was dependent on Budapest, and in the background of its creation were efforts to restore the Kingdom of Hungary - which had disappeared shortly before at the end of 1918 - by the Hungarian Soviet Republic.
