These regional identifications are so much more interesting and quirky than the more general All-Union stuff. The Chuvash ASSR had a population of under one million. The Chuvash ASSR was too deep into the RSFSR for the Germans to reach but Cheboksar (The capital) had 20 bombs dropped on it during a single plane raid on 4th November 1941 - not too long before this was issued.
