The Supreme Council of the Kyrgyz SSR is the Supreme Body of State Authority

In the Soviet system of government, the Supreme Council was the highest organ of state power for many years. Against the backdrop of a long-standing, fierce power struggle between political forces, processes of administrative centralization and the concentration of power in the hands of a certain group took place. In subsequent stages of Soviet construction, especially in the post-war years, de facto leadership fell into the hands of the Communist Party and its party cells. Nevertheless, formally, the Supreme Soviet retained its status as the highest organ of state power until the end of the perestroika period. This article examines, in accordance with the policy of the Soviet state, the current problems of the national and state structure of the Kyrgyz people in the second half of the 30s of the 20th century, based on regulatory documents, as well as issues of the development and adoption of the first Constitution of the Kyrgyz SSR (1937). The adoption of the Basic Law of the republic was a significant stage in the socio-political life of Kyrgyzstan. As a result of the formation of the Kyrgyz SSR, its state and legal status changed, which was reflected in the Constitution of the USSR of 1936 and the Constitution of the Kirghiz SSR of 1937. The Basic Law of the Kyrgyz SSR, based almost entirely on the principles of the USSR Constitution, enshrined the social and governmental structure of the Kyrgyz SSR. The Basic Law of the Republic explains the formation and structure, competence, and powers, and analyzes the activities of the Supreme Soviet of the Kyrgyz SSR as the highest legislative and representative body of state power. In accordance with the constitutional principles of the USSR, the Constitution of the Republic reflects the rights and freedoms of the country's citizens. Particular attention is given to the characterization of its main provisions. The fundamental provisions laid down in the Basic Law on the Rights and Freedoms of the Peoples of the USSR, as time has shown, were not always observed in practice under the administrative-command system.
