Dushanbe Dushanbe is the capital of Tajikistan. Although archaeological remnants dating to the 5th century BC have been discovered in the area, there is little to suggest that Dushanbe was more than a small village until the early 20th century. The first written mention of the village of Dushanbe occurred in 1676. It was at the crossroads, where a large bazaar occurred on Mondays, hence the name "Dushanbe-Bazar" (, "Dushanbe Bozor") from "Dushanbe", which means "Monday" in the Persian language, literally – the second day (du) after Saturday (shambe – ultimately from Hebrew Shabbat – שבת, probably through Byzantine Greek σάμβατον).
Chuvash Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic emphasized. The capital city was Cheboksary. Chuvash Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic The Chuvash Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic (; ) was an Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic within the Russian SFSR, which itself was within the Soviet Union. It occupied about along the east bank of the Volga River, about west of the river's confluence with the Kama River and some east of Moscow. The successor of the Chuvash Autonomous Oblast, the Chuvash ASSR was formed in 1925. It declared its sovereignty within the Soviet Union in 1990 as the Chuvash Republic (still within Russia). Its primary economic activities were agricultural. rain
