| | Soviet Union (former) Congress of People's Deputies - Flags, Maps, Economy, History, Climate, Natural Resources, Current Issues, International Agreements, Population, Social Statistics, Political System |
| | The Congress of People's Deputies that was elected in March through May 1989 consisted of 2,250 deputies--1,500 from the electoral districts and national-territorial electoral districts and 750 from officially sanctioned organizations, including the CPSU. | | | In 1989 the Congress of People's Deputies, however, was largely a ceremonial forum meeting only a few days a year to ratify and debate party and government decisions and to elect from its own membership the Supreme Soviet to carry out legislative functions between sittings of the congress. | | | Other responsibilities of the Congress of People's Deputies included changing the Constitution, adopting decisions concerning state borders and the federal structure, ratifying government plans, electing the chairman and first deputy chairman of the Supreme Soviet, and electing members of the Constitutional Oversight Committee. |

| | Workers World [Sam Marcy]: Yeltsin losing momentum (Dec. 17, 1992) |
| | Thus, from a strictly legal point of view, holding a presidential election for Yeltsin outside of the constitutional framework of the Congress of Deputies is illegal and contrary to the framework and constitution of the Congress of Peoples Deputies. | | | Members of the Congress of Peoples Deputies have given hundreds of speeches protesting that the process of reaching out to the banks will ultimately mean that the territory of the former USSR will become a raw materials base for the imperialist monopolies. | | | On Dec. 5, the Congress of Peoples Deputies voted 1,041 to 693 to amend the Russian Constitution and thereby dilute some of the power of the executive branch of the Russian government. |

| | Workers World [Sam Marcy]: Yeltsin, the Congress and state property (March 25, 1993) |
| | Now that the Congress of Peoples Deputies has administered a rebuff to Russian President Boris Yeltsin, and has thereby restricted his attempt to enlarge his political power, it has adjourned in a triumphant mood. | | | Unless the Russian Congress of Peoples Deputies gives priority to the two fundamental issues of privatization and inflation and takes clear-cut measures to halt both these plagues, the country faces the danger of falling completely into the arms of the seven imperialist robbers, the so-called G7 countries. | | | In Russia the struggle between the two branches of government, between the Yeltsin executive and the Congress of Peoples Deputies, is an expression of the class struggle. |

| | For one thing, NPC deputies are selected once every five years to coincide with the inauguration of a new cabinet. | | | Despite his seniority -- Li Peng is ranked second in the Politburo pecking order, just after President Jiang -- the NPC chairman has not been effective in grabbing more power for lawmakers. | | | Moreover, since this is also the last time that the full Ninth NPC gathers at the Great Hall of the People, the retiring legislators would feel less inhibited about speaking their minds. |
