The legislatures of communist states included:
Congress of Soviets and Supreme Soviet in the Soviet Union
Volkskammer of the German Democratic Republic
Marea Adunare Naţională of the Romanian People's Republic and the Socialist Republic of Romania
Federal Assembly (Savezna Skupština) of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia
National Assembly of People's Power in the Republic of Cuba
National Assembly of Vietnam in the Socialist Republic of Vietnam
National People's Congress in the People's Republic of China
Supreme People's Assembly in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea
National Assembly of Laos in the Lao People's Democratic Republic
People's Assembly of Albania in the Socialist People's Republic of Albania
Sejm of the People's Republic of Poland
National Assembly of the People's Republic of Bulgaria
Parliament of the People's Republic of Hungary
National Assembly, and after 1969 Federal Assembly of Czechoslovakia in the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic
Communist parties held permanent majorities in all of these legislatures. As a result, the legislatures themselves held very little power; policy was decided within the Communist Party and then easily passed through the legislature.
