Wybory do Rady Najwyższej Gruzińskiej Socjalistycznej Republiki Radzieckiej w 1990 r. - koniec komunistycznego monopolu władzy
Elections to the Supreme Council of the Georgian Soviet Socialist Republic in 1990 - the End of the Communist Power Monopoly

Summary/Abstract: The article presents an analysis of the first Georgian free parliamentary elections in 1990. The study spans a short but important period from the activation of Georgian opposition forces at the end of the 1980s to the end of 1990. The author indicates the link between the political changes in Georgia at that time and the development of the situation of the USSR. The analysis covers the political situation before the elections, their course and results, and the significance for Georgia regaining state sovereignty. The author puts forward a thesis about the key importance of the elections for the beginnings of the first period of the Georgian political transformation, which led to the regaining of independence. The period was characterised by introducing new political organisations and parties to the political scene, which ended the functioning of the communist one-party system in Georgia. This triggered out the process of shaping the new political system of the Georgian state after 1990.
