CAUSING FEATURES OF TRANSFORMATION OF TOTALITARIAN SYSTEM IN THE MULTI-PARTY SYSTEM IN THE POST-SOVIET COUNTRIES ON THE EXAMPLE OF AZERBAIJAN

Abstract

Formation of democratic traditions in the Post- Soviet area differed
for a number of specific aspects. Transition to democracy in the former union republics
took place on the ground of the last- mixed model. In the late 80s the socio-political
condition created in the USSR forced the governing structures to make some
concessions.
The important political changes taking place in the USSR area naturally served
as a background for the formation of new system of political relations in Azerbaijan,
as well. Prior to the achievement of independence and during the first years of independence
the socio-political condition created in Azerbaijan founded the formation
process of multi-party system.
The analysis of historical processes shows that the formation process of multiparty
system began in Azerbaijan very fast. This, naturally, was one of the obvious
appearances of the existence of various ideas concerning the future of the country in
the society during the first years of independence.
After the monotony of long years appearance of a number of political parties as
the mushrooms after rain in the background of political pluralism formation was
the consequence of the appearance of political freedom energy stored within the society
since long years.
