In the late 1980s political processes began in the Soviet Union, which have been associated with the start of the democratization of the Soviet society. Facing a spillover of the unrests throughout Eastern Europe that began in Poland, the republics of the USSR under the influence of the national-democratic forces began the process of declaring "state sovereignty" in the national parliaments of the republics. And so, sovereignty was also announced in the Tajik Soviet Socialist Republic.
On August 24, 1990, the second session of the Supreme Soviet of the Tajik SSR adopted the Declaration "On the Sovereignty of the Tajik SSR." But this sovereignty was declared while the Soviet Union still existed. Despite this, the Declaration was the first document to on the path to the real independence of Tajikistan. It declared that "the Tajik SSR in the territory independently solve all political, economic, social and cultural issues, in addition to the issues that Tajikistan voluntarily transfers the competence of the USSR.” Declaration was the first document towards independence.
After the failed coup organized by the State Committee on the State of Emergency (August 19–21, 1991), supporters of the conservative forces of the CPSU in Moscow, processes of proclamation of national independence began in the national republics began. On September 9, 1919, the session of the Shuroi Oli (Supreme Council) adopted a Resolution and Declaration "On State Independence of the Republic of Tajikistan."
Tajikistan gained independence formally on December 26, 1991 in connection with the dissolution of the Soviet Union.
According to the law "On the Feast Days", September 9 which is officially known as "Day of State Independence of the Republic of Tajikistan" is the main official state holiday in the country and is celebrated every year. The traditional three-volley salute and fireworks annually take place in honor of the holiday, which is also a non-working day. Annual mass games are also usually held in the central stadium of Dushanbe.
