Gorbachev told who is to blame for the collapse of the USSR




In his interview, Gorbachev stated that those who organized the coup in 1991 and then took advantage of the weakened position of the president of the Soviet Union were to blame for the end of perestroika and the collapse of the USSR. At the same time, he and the entire leadership of the country understood the probable risks of the ongoing reforms. He also admits that during the perestroika there were mistakes and mistakes, but he does not regret what happened and believes that Russia will never return to a totalitarian system.

The end of perestroika and the collapse of the Soviet Union are responsible for those who organized the coup in August 1991, and after the coup used the weakened position of the president of the USSR

- he stressed.

According to him, it was already impossible to live as we lived before and changes were required.

It was impossible to live as before. And an essential part of perestroika was the new foreign policy thinking, which encompasses both universal values ​​and nuclear disarmament, as well as freedom of choice

- explained the ex-president of the USSR.

Recall that the Soviet Union virtually ceased to exist 25 on December 1991 after Gorbachev addressed the Soviet people, in which he announced the completion of his activities as president of the USSR. This was preceded by the Bialowieza Agreement, signed by Yeltsin, Shushkevich and Kravchuk, which spoke about the termination of the existence of the USSR and proclaimed the creation of the Commonwealth of Independent States.

    The main active figure who implemented Yuri Andropov's plan to destroy the Soviet Union was Yevgeny Primakov. The famous diplomat, senior employee of the International Department of the CPSU Central Committee (1968-1988) Vyacheslav Matuzov stated this in an interview with the EADaily agency.

    “Primakov’s personality has been consecrated to the utmost to this day. I believe that he was the main active figure who completed Andropov’s plan for the reconstruction of the Soviet Union. In simple terms, Primakov was overseeing the process - all these years,” Matuzov is sure.

    According to him, Boris Yeltsin and Mikhail Gorbachev were “secondary people”; “Gorbachev is a rag, a pawn, nothing at all”; “Andropov’s heirs were behind the collapse of the USSR,” “that is, the conditions for the transition from the system in which we lived to the Western model were created.”

    Look, Judas doesn’t stop - he’s giving interviews. There may even be a chance that he will live to see the scaffold.

    Whoever stood at the head of the state at that time, who was entrusted with the management of the state, is to blame for the fact that he did not cope with his task, violated the oath and violated the oath, who betrayed his people. Everything else is talk about nothing and just blah blah blah, the curse of the entire multinational people, every true citizen of the former power, will remain in history throughout this entire family, as has already happened more than once, there are no words of justification for anything here will fix it.

    Still jarring from Gorbachev's speeches, which we were forced to take notes in VU, such as
    ...... each family has separate housing in 2000


    And what could one expect from a vain, tongue-tied mediocrity not burdened with intellect!
