History

The Supreme Soviet of the Georgian SSR started after the All-Georgian Congress of Soviets, which worked from 1922 to 1937. It had one group of leaders called deputies β€” 250 of them, though before 1990 there were 440. These deputies served for five years, but in 1978, this changed to four years.

In 1990, new elections were held on October 28, called the 1990 Georgian Supreme Soviet election. This was the first time people from different parties could vote, and it marked when the Supreme Soviet began to truly control the government. For most of its time, it was mostly led by the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and the Communist Party of Georgia.

Convocations

The Supreme Soviet of the Georgian SSR had twelve convocations, or meetings, between 1938 and 1992. These meetings happened regularly. The first one was from 1938 to 1946, and the last one was from 1990 to 1992. By the end, it was called the Supreme Council of the Republic of Georgia.

The convocations were:

  • 1st Convocation (1938–1946)
  • 2nd Convocation (1947–1950)
  • 3rd Convocation (1951–1954)
