Kobyakov declared the legal existence of the USSR due to a violation of the dissolution procedure

The procedure for the dissolution of the USSR in 1991 was carried out with violations, so it continued to exist legally. This was stated on May 21 by Anton Kobyakov, Adviser to the President of the Russian Federation, at the XIII St. Petersburg International Legal Forum (SPIEF-2025).

"The USSR legally exists somewhere, as constitutional law experts have been saying for a long time, including in Western countries, the United States, and France. They say this because the procedure for the so—called dissolution of the USSR was violated," TASS quoted him as saying.

Kobyakov clarified that in 1922 the USSR created the Congress of Soviets, therefore it was necessary to dissolve the Soviet Union also by its decision. This was not done, so the legal procedure was violated. The adviser to the President of Russia also believes that the Belovezhskaya Accord, under which the USSR was dissolved, looks "strange" from a legal point of view.

"This act was later ratified by the Supreme Soviets of the RSFSR, the Ukrainian SSR, and the BSSR, and this was not in their competence at all... The collapse of the USSR should be given a proper legal assessment in order to understand modern events," he said.
