"Federative" because it contained the so-called "autonomous republics" and "atuonomous regions". At the moment when SU was dissolved, Eltsyn was the president of this republic. | |

Supreme Soviet and the council of ministers, for example. But it did not have a separate communist party organization. Moscow had no special documented "charter" whatever this means. But of course it had enormous importance in fact. | |

| May 22, 2017 at 15:29 | comment | added | Alex | By "ordinary" I mean "resembling the institutions common to all democratic countries". As opposite to CPSU. (I am aware that these are separated into executive, legislative and judiciary branches"). | |
| May 22, 2017 at 14:42 | comment | added | d.k | "factory directors, … elected councils on the area, district, republic" — these are called not 'an "ordinary" structure of power' but the executive, and legislative branches of power. The elected councils up to the Supreme Soviet were the legislative one (except for ones at the village, city and region levels, of which I'm not sure whether their decisions had the power of law) and factory directors, ministers etc. were the executive branch. It is very "strange" to call them 'an "ordinary" structure of power', sort of "non-scientific". | |
| May 22, 2017 at 14:33 | comment | added | d.k | the same about the region etc. | |
