The analysis tries to review and group the political trends of the multiparty system in the Soviet Union which exists in a very initial form as yet, and it separates the the different phases of the emergence of a multi-party system. It states that the Soviet Communist Party which cannot be classified as a party for quite some time, involves the most different forces and when these are separated, this party will not have a future any more. The main political forces in the Soviet Union, too, include the national-conservative, the liberal-bourgeois and the labour-socialist (and the „vanguard" which is being pushed into the back). The author's sympathy is with the future party of the workers which, however, is still far from being able to mobilise masses of people.
