State Council of Crimea
Regional parliament of the Republic of Crimea From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The State Council of Crimea[lower-alpha 1] is the parliament of the Russia-administered Republic of Crimea. It claims to be a continuation of the 'Supreme Council of Crimea'[2] following a vote by the Ukrainian parliament to dissolve the Supreme Council of Crimea.[3][4][5] The Parliament is housed in the Parliament building in the centre of Simferopol.

Following the events of 2014, Crimea is a territory currently under dispute between Russia and Ukraine with Russia administering the territory but most countries continuing to recognise the territory as Ukrainian.
During the period of time in which Crimea was controlled by Ukraine, the Parliament was unable to appoint the Prime Minister of Crimea on its own, being able to appoint him only with the advice and consent of the President of Ukraine. This restriction did not sit well with the Parliament and its constituents, creating a long-standing rift between them and the national government of Ukraine.[citation needed]
As the Crimean crisis unfolded, the Parliament building was seized by unidentified pro-Russian gunmen. Under their control, the Parliament removed the incumbent Ukrainian-consented Prime Minister of Crimea and unilaterally appointed Sergey Aksyonov in his stead. The disbandment was also caused by the belief that the Crimean Parliament collaborated with Russian troops in the region against Ukrainian authorities.[6] Days later,[quantify] the Crimean Parliament reunified its territorial jurisdiction with the city of Sevastopol into a single united nation and unilaterally declared their independence from Ukraine following a referendum. This newly formed nation then acceded to Russia which ultimately transferred the Crimean Parliament under a newly formed federal subject of Russia.

1998 to 2014
The Supreme Council of Crimea was regulated according to a legislation passed by the Ukrainian parliament on 10 February 1998.[7] The parliament lacked the right of initiative but was authorized to fix its own election date under the Crimean constitution.[8][9][10]
The way council members were elected was changed several times. From the 1998 elections, a majoritarian system[which?] had been introduced that did not ensure the proper proportional representation of Crimean minorities in the council, especially that of Crimean Tatars.[further explanation needed][11]
In the wake of the Crimean crisis
On 27 February 2014, during the 2014 Crimean crisis, Refat Chubarov, leader of Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar People and member of the Council of Ministers of Crimea, said that unknown gunmen seized the Building of the Supreme Council of Crimea on Karl Marx Street and the building of the Council of Ministers on Kirov Avenue in Simferopol.[12]
Fifty gunmen occupied the building of the Crimean legislature, barricaded the building and installed machine guns at the front entrance.[citation needed] Roman Sohn from the EUobserver wrote that, "[the gunmen] let in [the Speaker of the Parliament] and the members of the presidium of the Crimean legislature, while denying entry to officials of its executive office."[13]
The Council then proceeded to hold an emergency session and passed a motion of no confidence in the Council of Ministers and adopted a resolution to terminate its powers.[12] Such session, however, was described as being, "under siege and in violation of all due process" by Roman Sohn from the EUobserver.[13] The parliament dismissed the chairman and Prime Minister of Crimea, Anatolii Mohyliov, pursuant to Article 136 of the Constitution of Ukraine, and replaced him de facto with Sergey Aksyonov, leader of the Russian Unity party.[13] This act has sparked some debate in the international community, as the Constitution of Ukraine establishes that the council can only appoint the Prime Minister in consultation with the President of Ukraine.[14][15] The contention strives on disagreements on who is the actual legitimate President of Ukraine, with the newly installed government in Ukraine considering the newly installed Oleksandr Turchynov as the incumbent Acting President, while the Council considers Turchynov's appointment as illegitimate.
The Council then voted to hold a referendum on the independence of Crimea on 25 May 2014.[16] Olha Sulnikova, head of information and analysis department of parliament, reported on the phone from inside the parliamentary building that 61 of the registered 64 deputies had voted for the referendum resolution and 55 for the resolution to dismiss the government.[17] According to another source three members of all the 64 members of the supreme council could not vote for the Crimean referendum as their voting cards did not work in the system[citation needed].
Interfax-Ukraine reported "it is impossible to find out whether all the 64 members of the 100-member legislature who were registered as present, when the two decisions were voted on or whether someone else used the plastic voting cards of some of them" because due to the armed occupation of parliament it was unclear how many members of parliament were present.[17] The Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten suggested in an article from 9 March, that 36 members had been present at the voting procedure.[18] Enver Abduraimov, member of the parliament presidium, said that he did not go inside when he saw that raiders who secured the building were confiscating all communications devices from deputies. Andriy Krysko, head of the Crimean branch of the Voters Committee of Ukraine, announced that no one from the parliament secretariat was in the building when voting took place.[17]
Vladimir Konstantinov, Chairman of the Supreme Council of Crimea, and the new de facto Prime Minister, Sergey Aksyonov, announced that they refused to recognize the dismissal of Viktor Yanukovych as President of Ukraine, and viewed him as legitimate.[19][20] Aksyonov added "we will follow his directions".[21]
On 1 March 2014, the Acting President of Ukraine, Oleksandr Turchynov, signed a decree declaring the appointment of Sergei Aksyonov unconstitutional.[22]
On 15 March 2014, Ukraine's Verkhovna Rada dissolved the Supreme Council of Crimea. A total of 278 MPs, out of 296 registered for the meeting on Saturday, voted for the relevant decree.[23]

The Supreme Council was governed by its own internal rules, adopted on 30 June 1998 and subsequently amended.[25]
All legal acts of the council had to be published and promulgated in Ukrainian, Russian, and Crimean Tatar.[25] Common and every-day work had to be written in Russian, while correspondence to Ukraine had to be written in the state language selected by Ukraine. Legal drafts and other acts could have been submitted in Russian, Ukrainian, or Crimean Tatar but the Secretary had then to translate them into the language required by its respective proceeding.[25]
All sessions, including those of its Presidium and committees, had to be transparent and open to the general public, except those restricted by other laws and regulations. The council could, however, choose to conduct its business confidentially if and only if a majority of the members of the total composition of the body voted to do so.[verification needed][25]
At the first plenary session of the council, the Chief Electoral Officer of Crimea ordered members of parliament to form factions and coalitions. The formation of parliamentary factions and coalitions was conducted in accordance with the Ukrainian law that regulated the procedure specifically for Crimea.
Plenary sessions were conducted if and only if attended by more than half of the deputies of the total composition of the council.
Voting could take place openly, by roll-call, or in secret by using an electronic voting system or ballots.
The 1998 Constitution of Crimea established that in order to aspire to be a member of the supreme Council one had to:[26]
- enjoy the right to vote,
- have attained 18 years of age as at the day of election, and
- have resided in Ukraine for at least five years.
No individual with a record of deliberate crime, if no such criminal record has been quashed and expunged in accordance with the procedure established by law, would be elected member of the council.
Elections for the council were held every five years with the last election of the Supreme council of Crimea held in October 2010. The next election had been scheduled for sometime in 2014.
Members were elected for a five-years term.[27]
Members of parliament were characterized into two main groups: those elected to represent a single-member district on first-past-the-post and those elected to represent multiseat districts on single non-transferable vote.[original research?] For this purpose, Crimea was divided into 50 districts all with a similar size in terms of population.[original research?] The other 50 represent multiseat districts.[original research?] Both groups served alongside each other with equal rights and powers.

Factions are a form of association of members of parliament legally recognized by the council. They are formed on the basis of personal written statements of deputies elected in multi-member constituencies and single-mandate majoritarian constituencies for elections of deputies of the council from Republican organizations of political parties.
The council is presided by a Presidium composed by the Chairman, a First Deputy Chairman, and a Deputy Chairman as ex-officio members.
