LDPR announces the initiative of Vladimir Zhirinovsky to review the draft resolution on the role of Mikhail Gorbachev and Boris Yeltsin in
stories country. Zhirinovsky proposed to adopt a draft resolution in which the activities of these heads of state would be recognized as destructive and criminal.
From the material:
The collapse of the Soviet Union, ethnic strife, numerous armed conflicts, rising incidence rates, death rates, the number of alcoholic and drug-addicted people, a catastrophic decline in the standard of living of millions of citizens in the nineties of the last century - all this did not happen by chance. At the state level, it is necessary to assess the results of the political activity of the USSR President M.S. Gorbachev and the first president of the Russian Federation B.N. Yeltsin, recognizing the destructive and criminal nature of this activity.
Zhirinovsky:
We need to recognize the mistakes that were present in the political activities of Gorbachev and Yeltsin. We do not give a harsh assessment of this - we are not a court and this document is not a sentence, everything is extremely soft. But let's see: there was a great state, 22 a million square kilometers and it is no more. Because of the Belovezh Agreement, which was illegal, there was no legal basis. It was a blow to our state.
Take the economy - why was the privatization of heavy manufacturing needed? Privatize individual small-scale service enterprises, trade, transport small enterprises, a translation bureau for small items.
Why was it necessary to create 700 banks, if half of them then closed? A mistake was the decision to take all the money abroad, to abolish the monopoly of foreign trade. Our trade missions traded well, the profit went to our country. And during the years of Gorbachev and Yeltsin’s rule, the money went west, a trillion dollars. The best minds went there.
A blow was struck at all positions. The defense complex during this time was almost destroyed, heavy industry collapsed, education and culture degraded.
Zhirinovsky summarizes:
We received a drop in the birth rate, a sharp increase in diseases, a rise in energy prices, the transfer of property into the wrong hands. These are all the mistakes made by Gorbachev and Yeltsin, the blow from which our country still comes to life. Therefore, today we have the right to give such an assessment.
RIA News reports that the committee of the State Duma of the Russian Federation for Control and Regulations decided to reject the initiative of the Liberal Democratic Party. At the same time, the committee stated that "the authors' feeling is shared." Representatives of the committee actually made it clear that they did not consider decisions taken during the era of Gorbachev and Yeltsin’s rule as decisions of the level of personal responsibility.
From the document:
Based on the foregoing, and taking into account the requirements of Article 103 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation and Article 93 of the Regulations of the State Duma, the Committee on Control and Regulations does not support the draft resolution and suggests that the State Duma reject it.
