Legally, the Soviet Union continues to exist.
No one claimed the Russian Federation and could not, since citizens of one state cannot vote for the constitution of another state. Citizens of the USSR did not have the right to vote with USSR passports for the Constitution of the Russian Federation. The most important thing is that it contradicted the result of the referendum of 17.03.91, where 113 million Soviet citizens voted for the preservation of the USSR. No one has canceled the results of this referendum. And the investigator, we could not leave the USSR and form anything. The pseudo-state created by Boris Yeltsin, referred to as the Russian Federation, is 100% illegal, as it grossly violated the will of the Soviet people, expressed by him at the referendum of 17.03.1991.
The signing in Belovezhskaya Pushcha of a 3-party Agreement on the creation of the CIS (8.12.1991), in which it was announced that the USSR "ceases to exist" did not comply with the legislation in force at that time and contradicted the will of the people expressed at the All-Union referendum on March 17, 1991, when 76.4% of Soviet citizens voted for the preservation of the USSR. In addition, the existence of the inter-republican CIS does not cancel the USSR. The membership of the Soviet Union in the United Nations was not legally terminated. The Belovezshskie Agreement has not been duly ratified and has not been submitted to the UN Secretariat as it should be.
The inviolability and integrity of the state territory of the USSR was fixed and has not yet been abolished in the Final Act of the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe (1.09.1975): “The Participating States consider that their borders can be changed, in accordance with international law, peacefully and by agreement ... The Participating States consider all borders as inviolable each other, like the borders of all states in Europe... they will, accordingly, refrain from any demands or actions as well, aimed at seizing and usurping part or all of the territory of any State Party.”
So, there are no legal obstacles to the existence and revival of the USSR. Moreover, the Constitution of Russia, adopted at a referendum, does not contain any norms prohibiting the existence of the USSR and proclaims the people as the only source of power in Russia. And since this source has never spoken out for the collapse of the USSR, the stated opinion has not yet been refuted by anyone. And what do you think of numerous lawyers – and not only lawyers?
... legally, the USSR remains in existence. The annulment of the Union Treaty of 1922 is nonsense, since this treaty itself was annulled by the adoption of the 1936 Constitution.
The referendum on March 17, 1991 (here it is, the will of the people, which political demagogues so like to refer to!) He confirmed that the vast majority of Soviet people still consider historical Russia their homeland. The Supreme Council of Russia, which was abolished after Yeltsin's decree 1400 of September 22, 1993, ratified the Belovezhskaya Agreements (which automatically made the decisions of the Supreme Court illegal). However, the Belovezhskaya Agreements themselves were annulled by the State Duma on March 16, 1996. Although our "free" press prefers to remain silent on this matter, the fact remains that the USSR continues to exist precisely as a subject of international law.
However, the very idea that a superpower can disappear as a result of the signing of some papers by three drunken party democrats is naive. Here is what the famous Western Sovietologist M. Levin wrote: "A country like the USSR cannot simply decentralize without reconvening. Such a vast territory as the USSR cannot but have a strong central government <...>. Disintegration will not develop further <...> the republics will return to dialogue. It's too early to bury the Soviet Union <...>. He'll be back. It will be called differently, have a different flag color, but it will definitely be revived."
And the last. Russian Russian patriots should finally recognize that the 73 years of Soviet power were just another stage in Russian history, marked by many crimes, but also by many achievements. I think it's time for patriots to abandon anti-Sovietism, recognizing the history of the USSR as part of their historical tradition. More recently, in the early 90s, patriots simply needed to emphasize the condemnation of the Soviet past in order to distance themselves somewhat from the Communist Party, which claims to be the exclusive heir of the Soviet era. But now – in the conditions of the degradation of the Communist Party – the Soviet legacy in all its diversity should become part of the Russian historical tradition.
Referendum on March 17 , 1991 on the preservation of the USSR.
It should be noted that the Russian Duma, relying on art. 29 of the USSR Law No. 1869-I of December 27, 1990 "On popular Vote (Referendum of the USSR)", that "the decision taken by a referendum of the USSR is final, binding on the entire territory of the USSR and can be canceled or changed only by a new referendum of the USSR", adopted on March 15, 1996 Year Resolution No. 157-II "On Legal Force for the Russian Federation - The results of the USSR referendum on March 17, 1991 on the preservation of the USSR," which states that "officials of the RSFSR, who prepared, signed and ratified the decision to terminate the existence of the USSR, grossly violated the will of the peoples of Russia to preserve the USSR." And it is unlikely from the point of view of INTERNATIONAL LEGAL NORMS that new states that have emerged in the USSR can be recognized as legitimate. Because they arose against the will of the majority of citizens of the USSR.
