On 27 October 1924 the Khorezm SSR was divided between the Uzbek and Turkmen SSRs and the Karakalpak Autonomous Oblast as part of the delimitation of Central Asia according to nationalities.Погорельский И.В. [http://kungrad.com/history/sssr/hnsr/ История Хивинской революции и Хорезмской народной советской республики 1917–1924 гг.], Ленинград: Изд-во ЛГУ, 1984 The history of this short-lived republic remains murky and the way its government functioned is not largely clear. The government officials fervently opposed the delimitation plans of the Khorezmian Republic (which had to be carried out under Stalin’s orders) but in the end they were forced to concede.
