Elections to the First All-Union Congress of Soviets were held on December 30, 1922 in the Soviet Union, [1] at which 2,214 deputies were elected.

Contents

The Congress of Soviets was convened following the end of the main hostilities of the Russian Civil War, when the overwhelming number of White Army forces were defeated. As a result, there was a need to unite the autonomous Bolshevik forces within a single state and government, for which it was decided to convene the All-Union Congress of Soviets, where representatives from all the Soviets of Workers' and Soldiers' Deputies could sign an agreement on the formation of the USSR.
