What happened to Azerbaijan after the Red Army entered Baku in 1920?

When the Red Army entered Baku in April 1920, the independent Azerbaijani republic offered little resistance. Following this event, the Azerbaijani Soviet Socialist Republic was established, lasting for 71 years.1234

From 1922 until 1936, Azerbaijan was part of the Transcaucasian Soviet Federated Socialist Republic. During its time as a Soviet republic, Azerbaijan underwent significant industrialization, urbanization, and economic development. While the Soviet government promoted education and appointed Azerbaijanis to positions of power, the republic remained under the strict control of Moscow, particularly during the rule of Joseph Stalin between 1928 and 1953, when M.A. Bagirov led the Azerbaijani Communist Party. Over time, the society became more urban and socially mobile, though it remained divided between the cosmopolitan capital of Baku and more traditional, underdeveloped rural regions. Following Stalin's death, the republic gained somewhat greater autonomy, allowing its national political and intellectual elites to flourish.34
