The Idel-Ural State (Tatar: Идел-Урал өлкәсе,^{[citation needed]} İdel-Ural ölkäse,^{[citation needed]} إِديل-اٗورال ئۈلكەسىٰ,^{[citation needed]} also İdel-Ural berlege^{[citation needed]} İdel-Ural ştatı^{[citation needed]}), also known as the Volga-Ural State or Idel-Ural Republic,^[3] was an unsuccessful attempt of the autonomy of Tatar peoples that claimed to unite Tatars, Bashkirs, the Chuvash in the turmoil of the Russian Civil War. The republic was proclaimed on 1 March 1918, by a Congress of Muslims from Russia's interior and Siberia, but defeated by Bolsheviks the same month.^[4] Idel-Ural means "Volga-Ural" in the Tatar language.
