The Karakorum Government was a constituent congress which attempted to establish a republic to include the Altai, the Khakas and the Tuvans. The second Congress of the high Altai was called in March 1918 and officially created this government. The government was founded by Altai painter Grigoriy Gurkin and by Russian writer and publicist Vasily Anuchin.[1] The government was not a fully independent entity but rather an administrative entity with some autonomy, although it was relatively independent in reality due to the chaos of the Russian Civil War. The government was eventually invaded by white forces in the civil war, only to be invaded by the Soviet 5th army and destroyed in April 1920, although resistance continued well into 1922.[2]
