Reminiscencje ustrojowe USRR po 1990 roku

On July 16, 1990, the Declaration of State Sovereignty of Ukraine was adopted by the Verkhovna Rada. The document proclaimed, “the basis for the new constitution and the laws of Ukraine.” An urgent need arose for the state authorities to be restructure in a way appropriate for an independent state. Sources of solutions were sought in three areas: in the models of stabilized governments of Western European states, in the traditions existing in Ukraine before it was influenced by the USSR, and in the experiences and institutions that have existed so far. The purpose of this article is to look at this last source and to find the remnants of the solutions that existed during the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic in the structures of the Soviet Union, and which survived Ukraine’s independence in 1991.
