THE DIFFICULT TRANSITION TO UKRAINIAN DEMOCRACY FROM INDEPENDENCE UNTIL THE ADOPTION OF ITS CONSTITUTION

Summary/Abstract: In 1991, with the disintegration of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the emerging states had to face a major change in all areas, not only political but also economic, social, administrative, etc. Among the main challenges that these countries had to assume was the entry into the democratic field, unknown to them. This had to be done through the implementation of a system that validated the new situation of these countries. One of the key aspects of this transition was the elaboration of a democratic constitution, since, although in the communist regimes there were constitutions, it is necessary to remember that these were simple fictions under the Communist Party. It can be found one of these cases in Ukraine, which, since its declaration of independence on 24 August 1991, had to gradually begin this unprecedented path within its borders. From this moment, a long road began for the resolution of the post-Soviet conflicts inherited from the previous era, until the achievement of a new Constitution for Ukraine on June 28, 1996. It is therefore necessary to analyse in depth how the Ukrainian democratisation process went up to the consolidation of its constitution. An exhaustive interdisciplinary analysis will be carried out of all the problems faced by Ukraine in order to complete this process, which was accomplished out in all the ex-Soviet republics with greater or lesser success.
