→End of single party rule
Under ''glasnost'' and ''perestroika'' the political activity of the population grew, and the meetings of the Congress of People's Deputies of the USSR, which started in May 1989, were watched by the entire Soviet Union. No effective solutions were developed, and 'people power' turned into cheap [[populism]].

In March 1990, the Congress of People's Deputies of the USSR abolished the 6th Article of the Constitution on the leading and guiding role of the [[CPSU]]. Thus, the [[one-party system]] in the country was eliminated.
