Abstract
The main stages of the formation of the political system of the Republic of Crimea in the post-Soviet period are considered, as well as their main features and key aspects of its transformation are analyzed. In total, four stages were identified in the formation of the political system of the Republic of Crimea: 1992-1994; 1995-2006; 2006-2014; 2014-present time. The first stage was characterized by features of a transformative regime with a presidential form of government that was still being formed and a party system with a dominant party. The specific features of the second stage were the political crisis in the region associated with the rejection of the presidential republic, as well as the transition to a parliamentary republic and a majoritarian electoral system. The third stage in the formation of the political system of the Republic of Crimea was characterized by the transformation of the party system towards a system with a dominant party, which, starting from 2006, was the "Party of Regions" for eight years. The form of government at this stage did not undergo any changes, representing, as before, a parliamentary republic. This stage was also distinguished by a change in the party system and the transition in 2006, first to a proportional electoral system, and later, in 2010, a return to a mixed electoral system, characteristic of the political process of the Republic of Crimea in the period from 1992 to 1994. After 2014, a new stage in the formation of the political system of the Republic of Crimea began, associated with the transition to a presidential form of government. At the same time, the party and electoral systems have not changed. As in the period from 2006 to 2014, the republic currently has a party system with a dominant party (the difference is that United Russia has become the dominant political force instead of the Party of Regions), as well as a mixed electoral system.
