There wasn’t a real reason for the USSR to split along those exact lines, other than this being convenient at the time. But the borders were never meant to be taken seriously before that. | |

But after WW II (and getting rid of the native Tatars), it was relegated to the "Oblast" level (i.e. lost its autonomy) before being transferred to Ukraine in 1954. The referendum was about regaining the ASSR status, but they were part of the Ukraine, and remained so, the referendum wasn't about independence from Ukraine. | |

Add links to explain the SSRs. Minor grammar and typo fixes.
