Supreme Soviet of the Uzbek Soviet Socialist Republic


The Supreme Soviet of the Uzbek SSR was the highest organ of state authority of the Uzbek SSR from 1938 to 1991. The Supreme Soviet of the Uzbek SSR was preceded by the All-Uzbek Congress of Soviets which operated from 1925 to 1938. After the independence of Uzbekistan in 1991, the Supreme Soviet of the Uzbek SSR was briefly succeeded by the Supreme Council of the Republic of Uzbekistan from 1991 to 1994.
The 1990 Uzbek Supreme Soviet election was the first and final supreme soviet election that allowed for multiparty elections.

History

The Supreme Soviet of the Uzbek SSR was established pursuant to constitutional reforms within the Uzbek SSR, which changed the organization of the main political organs of the republic. In theory, the Supreme Soviet had unlimited powers per unified power. However, in practice, its powers were curtailed by the Communist Party of Uzbekistan. When Uzbekistan achieved independence from the Soviet Union in 1991, the name of the Supreme Soviet of the Uzbek SSR was changed to the Supreme Council of the Republic of Uzbekistan. The Oliy Majlis replaced the Supreme Council of the Republic of Uzbekistan in February 1995.

Convocations

Over the 53 years of its existence, the Supreme Soviet of the Uzbek SSR had a total of twelve convocations. The 12th and final convocation consisted of 500 deputies, which elected Islam Karimov as the President of the Uzbek SSR in 1990 and declared Uzbekistan's independence on August 31, 1991.
