On September 27, the largest federal subject of the Russian Federation and the largest administrative-territorial entity in the world — the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) — celebrates Statehood Day. The issue of establishing Yakutia's statehood through defining its status within Russia was first raised in the early 1920s. At that historical moment, the idea of granting Yakutia the status of an autonomous republic within the RSFSR was supported by the Soviet government and personally by V.I. Lenin. As a result, in April 1922, the All-Russian Central Executive Committee issued a decree, and Yakutia gained the status of an Autonomous SSR within the RSFSR. A significant step in the formation of statehood in this region of Russia was the proclamation of the Declaration of State Sovereignty, the Constitution of the Republic of Yakutia, the establishment of the Presidency of the Republic, and the renaming of the region to the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). The Declaration of State Sovereignty was proclaimed on September 27, 1990. Since then, September 27 is recognized as the Statehood Day of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). In October and December 1992, the state symbols of the Republic — the flag and the coat of arms — were approved. Both state symbols were created with consideration for the historical and cultural traditions of the people of the Republic of Sakha. This includes the color scheme and traditional symbols (ornaments, the symbolic depiction of a rider from a rock drawing, the solar disk). The Republic also has its own anthem. The main law of the subject is the Constitution, adopted in 1992.
