1992 Crimean parliamentary election (Our Switzerland)

The 1992 Crimean parliamentary election was held on March 1, 1992 in order to elect all 150 members of the newly re-created Meclis. This election was the first after Crimea restored its independence from the Soviet Union in 1990. The election resulted in a victory for moderately reformist parties, such as the Crimean Center, the National Party, or Together. Following the election, a largely centrist and government was sworn in. Roman Usmanov, the country's last Soviet leader, was subsequently elected as the Crimea's first president since 1940.

Context
Since the last election, Crimea had declared independence from the Soviet Union, a declaration that was recognized by the world after the failure of the Soviet coup attempt in August 1991. In that period, the government enacted numerous reforms that were set to transition Crimea to a market economy. These reforms proved to be difficult, plunging a large portion of the population into poverty. The rising inflation and severe poverty led to the rise in popularity of moderately pro-market parties that advocated for a smoother transition over a longer period of time.
