Supreme Soviet of the Tajik Soviet Socialist Republic

The Supreme Soviet of the Tajik SSR was the highest authority in the Tajik SSR, a part of the Soviet Union. It acted as the main governing body for the republic. However, it did not have much real power because it followed the instructions of the Communist Party of Tajikistan.

During a time of change in the Soviet Union called glasnost and perestroika, democratic elections were held. These elections happened because leaders wanted more open and fair government ways. This marked a big shift in how the Supreme Soviet worked before.
