History
From 1922 to 1947, this region was called the Oirot Autonomous Region. In 1948, it was renamed the Gorno-Altai Autonomous Region, and in 1990 it became known as the Gorno-Altai Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic. On July 3, 1991, the region was renamed the Gorno-Altai Republic, and on March 31, 1992 became the Altai Republic. It is currently a subject of the Russian Federation [1] .
The administrative center of the Oirat Autonomous Region was the city of Ulala. In 1928, it was renamed Oirot-Tour. However, in 1948 the region was renamed the Gorno-Altai Autonomous Region and Oirot-Tura became known as the Gorno-Altai [1] .
