Prior to demokratizatsiya, the Supreme Soviet had characterized as a rubber stamp for the Soviet Ukrainian regime or as only being able to affect issues of low sensitivity and salience to the regime by the Ukrainian Communist Party, similar to all other supreme soviets in the union republics. The 1990 election in Ukraine was the first in the UkSSR where opposition parties were permitted to run.
