  • A sovereignty referendum was held in Tatarstan, Russia, on 21 March 1992. Voters were asked whether they approved of Tatarstan being a sovereign state. On 30 August 1990 the Tatar ASSR, then part of the Russian SFSR of the Soviet Union, adopted a Declaration of State Sovereignty, elevating its status to that of a union republic with the intention of joining a renewed Soviet Union as its own independent entity. However, a coup attempt precipitated the collapse of the Soviet Union, leaving the Tatar ASSR in a state of limbo. Russia refused to recognize Tatarstan's sovereignty and instead wanted it to join a new Federation Treaty. Faced with a hostile central government, growing unrest, and a rise in nationalism, the regional government ordered a referendum be held to decide on the republic's sovereignty. Campaigning on the referendum began in February 1992 with voting taking place on 21 March 1992. Voters were given a choice to either vote for or against Tatarstan's sovereignty, however, the question and wording were ambiguous and the opposing sides of the referendum interpreted the word 'sovereignty' differently; Tatar nationalists believing independence and pro-Russian groups believing autonomy. The Russian government opposed the referendum, claiming it was an attempt to have Tatarstan secede. The Tatarstan government denied the referendum was about independence and instead said it was simply to confirm the republic's sovereignty declaration. Despite Russian attempts to prevent the vote, it went ahead on schedule and the results showed that 62% of voters approved of Tatarstan's sovereign status while 38% opposed it. The vote was peaceful and afterward Tatarstan adopted a new constitution declaring it a "sovereign democratic state" and a "subject of international law". Tatarstan entered in to negotiations with Russia to consider a bilateral treaty. The treaty, signed on 15 February 1994, granted Tatarstan significant autonomy while it agreed to remain part of Russia but with "special status". When Vladimir Putin came to power in 2000, he sought to undo Tatarstan's autonomy gains. Throughout the decade the bilateral treaty and all references to sovereignty were abolished, ending Tatarstan's special status. (en)
