The Byelorussian SSR (Belarusian ?????????? ???????? ?????????????? ?????????? [????] Belarussiya Savetskaya Sotsyyalistychanaya Respublika [BSSR]; Russian ??????´????? ????´????? ??????????´?????? ?????´????? [????] Belorusskaya Sovetskaya Sotsalisticheskaya Respublika [BSSR]) was one of fifteen constituent republics of the Soviet Union. It was one of the four original founding members of the Soviet Union in 1922, together with the Ukrainian SSR, the Transcaucasian SFSR and the RSFSR. The Soviet Republic, along with the Ukrainian SSR and the Soviet Union, were founder members of the United Nations Organization in 1945. The Soviet republic in the lands of Belarus was declared on January 1, 1919, but it took a few years to define its status. Byelorussia was also one of several Soviet Republics occupied by Nazi Germany during World War II. The end of the Soviet Republic occurred in 1991 and the county was later renamed into the current Republic of Belarus. Being part of the Russian Empire before World War I, Belarus declared its first statehood on 25 March 1918, forming the Belarus National Republic. The Republic was, however, short-lived, and was overthrown soon after the German withdrawal. On January 1, 1919 the Soviet Socialist Republic of Belarus (SSRB) was created. Soon it was disbanded, its territory merged into the RSFSR and the new Lithuanian-Belorussian Soviet Socialist Republic. The latter one was also short-lived, overridden by the 1919 Polish invasion. After Polish-Soviet War ended in 1921, Byelorussian lands were split between Poland, Russia, and the recreated SSRB[1], which became a founding member of the Soviet Union in 1922 and became known as BSSR. In September 1939, the Soviet Union annexed the Polish-held West Belarus during the 1939 invasion of Poland and incorporated it into the BSSR. Part of it was later transferred to the Lithuanian SSR.
