On 26 August 1991 the Presidium of the Verkhovna Rada (Ukrainian parliament) suspended and on 30 August 1991 prohibited the Communist Party of Ukraine based on the fact that "the leadership of the Communist Party of Ukraine in its actions supported the coup d'état" Moscow. Based on parliamentary faction of the Communist Party following its 1991 prohibition, there was created the Socialist Party of Ukraine. On efforts of some other communist cells across Ukraine that did not join the Socialist Party, in 1993 in Donetsk was re-established the Communist Party of Ukraine as a political party of independent Ukraine, while joining the Union of Communist Parties – Communist Party of the Soviet Union out of Moscow. Some members who joined Socialist Party, after re-establishing of the Communist Party, joined the new political entity among which the most notable was Adam Martyniuk.
