The Supreme Soviet of the Ukrainian SSR (Ukrainian: Верховна Рада Української РСР, romanizedVerkhovna Rada Ukrainskoi RSR; Russian: Верховный Совет Украинской ССР, romanizedVerkhovny Sovet Ukrainskoy SSR) was the supreme soviet (main legislative institution) and the highest organ of state power of Ukraine when it was known as the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic (Ukrainian SSR), one of the union republics of the Soviet Union. The Supreme Soviet was Ukraine's sole branch of government and, per the principle of unified power, all state organs were subservient to it. It was established in 1937 replacing the All-Ukrainian Congress of Soviets.[2]

Before demokratizatsiya, the Supreme Soviet had been 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 Ukrainian SSR where opposition parties were permitted to run.[3]
