A union of multiple subnational republics, its government and economy were highly centralized. The Soviet Union was a one-party federation, governed by the Communist Party with Moscow as its capital. - The Supreme Soviet ("Verkhovnyj Sovet") was the common name for the legislative bodies (parliaments) of the Soviet socialist republics (SSR) in the Soviet Union. These soviets were modeled after the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union, established in 1938, and were nearly identical. Soviet-approved delegates to the Supreme Soviets were periodically elected in unopposed elections. The first free or semi-free elections were held during the "perestroika" in late 1980s. The soviets were largely rubber stamp institutions, approving decisions handed to them by the Communist Party of the Soviet Union or of each SSR. The soviets met infrequently (often only twice a year for only several days) and elected the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet, a permanent body, to act on their behalf while the soviet was not in session. Under the 1936 and 1977 Soviet Constitution the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet served as the collective head of state of the Soviet Union. The Supreme Soviets also elected the Council of Ministers, an executive body. After the dissolution of the Soviet Union in late December, 1991, most of these soviets became the legislatures of independent countries. - Georgy Khosroevich Shakhnazarov ( Armenian : ; October 4 , 1924 in Baku , Soviet Union - May 15 , 2001 in Tula , Russia ) was a Soviet - Armenian politician and political scientist .

Shakhnazarov was staying at a sanatorium close to the presidential dacha at Foros in the Crimea that fateful August 1991 , when he helped Gorbachev in his plans for a new Union Treaty to define relations between the republics . Indeed , the two spoke by telephone about it on the afternoon of 18 August , the last call Gorbachev took before the coup plotters moved in and cut off his contact with the outside world . Shakhnazarov ( the Russified form of Shakhnazaryan ) was born into the then large Armenian community in the Azerbaijani capital , Baku .
