Description
Study of centrifugal tendencies in the Baltic republics
in the years of perestroika, especially on the
background of today's events in the Ukraine (the
Crimea entry into Russia, the civil war in the Donbass,
the aggravation of relations between Russia and the
Western powers), is very important. An important
direction in social and political life of the Baltic
republics was the legislative activity of the Supreme
Council, which made laws and regulations aimed at
the isolation and subsequent exit of republics from the
Soviet Union. Nowadays the problem of the role of the
Supreme Council of the Baltic States in the process of
sovereignty and independence was not seriously
developed. That’s why consideration of the main legal
acts as a historical source is an important area of
research in the field of legislation the Supreme
Council of the Baltic states in the perestroika years,
from 1988 to 1991. The aim of the work is to study the
process of sovereignty of the Baltic States through the
activities of the republican Supreme Soviets in the
above period. The object of work is to study legal acts
of the Supreme Soviets of the Baltic republics. This
article will address the following regulations: the
Declaration of Sovereignty, language laws,
citizenship, national symbols, as well as regulations,
declared a withdrawal from the Soviet Union (as in
Lithuania) or the beginning of transitional period (as in
Latvia and Estonia). It should be noted that in Latvia
and Estonia citizenship laws in the years 1988-1991
were only developed. Finally these laws were passed
after the official recognition of these republics, so they
are not included in the focus of our attention. The
subject of the work is legislative activity of the
Supreme Soviets of the Baltic republics in the years of
perestroika
