Chelyabinsk region in times of political crisis (1991-1993)

Article is devoted to the study to the political transformation of the Chelyabinsk region in the conditions of political crisis in 1991-1993. The article considers the problem of the process of the struggle of the legislative and Executive branches of government. In Russian historiography this stage was widely covered. Of great interest are the works, which have comprehensive approach to the study. For example monograph by A.N. Medushevsky. The author analysed of the entire constitutional process in Russia and the role, place of the representative authorities in the political system of the country. Y. Igritsky was one of the first scientists who systematized views and concepts on the process of social and political transformation. V.V. Sogrin made significant contribution to the development of the problem. His researches filled with deep and objective historical analysis about taking place in the country change. Scientific research of by M. Kapustin, Y. I. Igritsky, K. Hajiyev H.A. Stankevich are devoted of the problems of the political system in the USSR. There are many works about this problems are many, but all of them poorly reflect political trends in the regions, despite the fact that it had a certain specificity. For example, A.D. Kirilova explores the political transformation in the Chelyabinsk region but only in the context of general developments in the Ural society. Meanwhile, the formation of a new state authorities in the Chelyabinsk region was depended on government crisis and confrontation between two mutually exclusive political institutions. An important article is to study this process at the regional level, as this aspect of the problem is poorly learning. Relying on extensive source base, the author has conducted an analysis of the political development of the southern Urals in the conditions of transformation of the Soviet nomenklatura system. It is concluded that the confrontation was between the two political leaders, who were leaders two opposing sides: the Communist party and their followers and democratic platform. Their starting positions were equal, and who wins was not clear until the last moment. A crucial role in identifying leader played political developments in the country on the path of dismantling the Soviet system and the democratization. The personal qualities of the politicians and their powerful resource were not had significance. The consequence of the struggle was the destruction of the former political system, and the final elimination of the institutions of Soviet power. It should be noted that often were transition of the subjects of the political sphere to the other vectors of development.
