Soviet=Council

Why tha article not called council but "soviet"? Soviets in their original meaning refer to 1920s, while "Верховный Совет" refers to the other meaning of the word - "council" (supreme council), a "soviet" and a "council" are similar words in russian.

Why isn't Supreme Council of the Soviet Union?UeArtemis (talk) 11:26, 22 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Notable members

Would it be possible to include a list of notable members of the Supreme Soviet not on the executive level? Orville Eastland (talk) 00:54, 16 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ivan Laptev

Someone has removed Ivan Laptev from the list of Chairmen of the Supreme Soviet. I saw with my own eyes that he and Rafiq Nishonov presided over the meetings of the USSR Supreme Soviet on CNN after the failed coup d'etat in August 1991. Please do not remove him

Intended for Talk:Supreme Soviet.
The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.
First entry should not have an equal bullet point The Soviet Union was the country as a whole and the other bullet points were provinces within it. Therefore, an equal bullet point for the country along with its provinces is misleading. The Mysterious El Willstro (talk) 21:32, 11 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Citation needed for unsupported seemingly biased statement?

" In practice, however, it functioned as a rubber stamp for decisions already made by the CPSU. This later became common practice in all Communist countries. "

Is there any citation or sources support for this? Preferably disinterested ones. The statement have an anti-soviet feeling for it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 118.69.62.136 (talk) 04:41, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

More importantly is their any unbiased sources.71.17.109.113 (talk) 08:40, 20 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

New Disambiguation Page

Depending on the era, either this or the Federal Council may be simply referred to as "The Soviet" (based on Сове́т, the Russian word for "Senate," "Upper House of Parliament," or "Governing Council"). For that reason, I will now create a Disambiguation Page to this effect. The Mysterious El Willstro (talk) 06:09, 30 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Inconsistency

On this article it talks about how it was rubber stamp institution with no real power, however in the article for the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet it states that the Presidium (an institution that was powerful enough to remove a General Secretary at one point) was elected directly from the Supreme Soviet. Someone else also said that the rubber stamp line was biased and unsourced so it might be related.

Orchastrattor (talk) 17:38, 15 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The Presidium of the Supreme Soviet never had the power to remove the General Secretary of the CPSU (since that was a party office, answerable not to the Supreme Soviet or any of its subordinate bodies, but rather to the Central Committee of the CPSU). Khrushchev was removed by the Presidium of the Central Committee of the CPSU, which is what the Politburo was denominated from 1952 to 1966.—MNTRT2009 (talk) 11:15, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
