How it ended, as its article says
Replaced, 1991-08-25. Read from the article's section “lead” by its grammar; the claim is only that the article says so.
Despite this, on 25 August 1991, the Byelorussian SSR declared independence, and on 19 September it was renamed the Republic of Belarus.

13 rulers, 13 with terms dated as terms, covering 1922 – 1991. Median reign 5 years. 6 of 12 handovers irregular - a killing, a deposition, a rival claimant, a rising or a coup beside it. A blank in the last column means no kin on record, which is coverage, never “unrelated”.
