Did the USSR Legally Still Exist? Experts Spark Debate

The Legality of the USSR's Dissolution Questioned at St. Petersburg Forum A panel of constitutional law experts at the recent St. Petersburg International Legal Forum has sparked debate by claiming the dissolution of the USSR in 1991 was illegal. Their argument centers on alleged procedural violations during the process. "The dissolution was not carried out according to the laws then in effect," stated one expert, whose name was not provided in the video. This assertion challenges the widely accepted historical narrative of the Soviet Union's collapse. The experts pointed to the hasty nature of the events and the lack of proper legal procedures as evidence of illegality. The video footage shows a speaker asserting that, from a legal standpoint, the USSR still exists. This controversial claim highlights the complexities of interpreting historical legal events and raises questions about the long-term implications of the Soviet Union's dissolution. The St. Petersburg International Legal Forum provided a platform for this discussion, emphasizing the ongoing relevance of these historical legal questions. Further investigation is needed to verify the accuracy of these claims.
