Abstract
The article deals with the problems of coverage by Soviet sociologists of the 1989 election campaign for the election of People's Deputies of the USSR. The key problem was the transition from a non-competitive system to a competitive system with alternative candidates. In this situation, there is a request for a variety of electoral sociological studies. The first comprehensive studies on the support of the electoral process appear. A whole series of polls of various types were conducted to identify the electoral picture in certain localities. Some sociologists took part in the elections as members of election headquarters. Participation in agitation and propaganda events was defined by them as such sociological methods as included observation, non-standardized interview and, even, experiment. A lot of publications were devoted to general issues, first of all, the results of the elections and the prospects for the development of the electoral process. Much attention was paid to the promotion of the ideas of perestroika. First of all, we are talking about the course of «democratization», implemented through further transformation of the electoral system.
