In 1991, the balance of geopolitical and geostrategic interests of world powers changed following the collapse of the Soviet Union. A qualitatively new political era began in the history of mankind, a new period of influence of global and regional powers in parts of the world, primarily in the territory of the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe.
Due to the termination or weakening of socio-political, economic, trade, transport and other ties between the countries of the post-Soviet space, as well as a new clash of interests of regional and world power-hungry forces, the newly independent Tajikistan was engulfed in a deep political, economic, social and cultural crisis.
The state independence of Tajikistan also fell on this difficult historical period.
In the last days of the domination of the Soviet state, where national and political conflicts were unleashed throughout its territory, the second Session of the Supreme Council of the Tajik Soviet Socialist Republic (twelfth convocation) on August 24, 1990 adopted the Declaration of State Independence of the Tajik Soviet Socialist Republic and opened a new historical stage in the fate of Tajikistan.
