Legislatures in communist states
The legislatures of communist states included:
- Congress of Soviets and Supreme Soviet in the Soviet Union
- Volkskammer of the German Democratic Republic
- Marea Adunare Naţională in the Romanian People's Republic and the Socialist Republic of Romania
- Federal Assembly (Savezna Skupština) in the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia
- People's Great Khural in the People's Republic of Mongolia
- National Assembly of People's Power in the Republic of Cuba
- National Assembly of Vietnam in the Socialist Republic of Vietnam
- National People's Congress in the People's Republic of China
- National Assembly of Laos in the Lao People's Democratic Republic
- People's Assembly of Albania in the Socialist People's Republic of Albania
- Sejm in the People's Republic of Poland
- National Assembly in the People's Republic of Bulgaria
- Parliament in the People's Republic of Hungary
- Federal Assembly in the Socialist Republic of Czechoslovakia
Communist parties held permanent majorities in all of these legislatures. As a result, the legislatures themselves held very little power; policy was decided within the Communist Party and then easily passed through the legislature.
