CONSTITUTIONAL AND LEGAL FORMALIZATION OF POST-SOVIET POLITICAL SYSTEMS: COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS

Abstract

The article describes the formation and functioning of post-Soviet political systems in the light of the constitutional transformations taking place in them, which influenced their choice of the form of public administration and its subsequent transformation. Comparing the powers of the highest state bodies in the states under consideration, the authors came to the conclusion that Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan are presidential republics, while Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Belarus, Azerbaijan and Uzbekistan are super-presidential republics with a wide range of powers of the head of state. Armenia and Georgia have chosen a parliamentary form of government, while Moldova and Ukraine are balancing between a parliamentary-presidential model, which is why the political systems of these states are quite unstable, the change of power in which often occurs unconstitutionally.
