The Comrat Republic (Gagauz: Κομράτ Ρεσπυβλικάσι,[a] Komrat Respublikası; Romanian: Republica de la Comrat; Russian: Комратская республика, romanizedKomratskaya respublika) was an autonomous republic established in the village of Comrat, in the Bessarabia Governorate, during the Russian Revolution of 1905 in protest of the tsarist regime of the Russian Empire. It was created after a mutiny by Andrey Galatsan, a socialist revolutionary, with the support of the local Gagauz population. It lasted six days (from 6 January to 12 January) and is today viewed positively in Gagauzia (now in Moldova) as a premonition of the future Gagauz territorial autonomy.
