State Duma: Gorbachev and Yeltsin are not guilty of anything

6
The State Duma of the Russian Federation refused to recognize the activities of the first and last President of the USSR Mikhail Gorbachev and the first President of Russia Boris Yeltsin as anti-people, which led to the collapse of the Soviet state.





The initiative to assess the actions of the first presidents was made by the LDPR faction. The assessment project proposed by the party of Vladimir Zhirinovsky proposed at the state level to characterize the actions of Gorbachev and Yeltsin in the early 1990s as destructive and anti-people. As a result policy adjustment and subsequent reforms seriously worsened sociallyeconomic the country's situation, the political situation was destabilized, Russia's positions in the international arena were undermined. All these consequences, according to the authors of the project, were the result of Gorbachev and Yeltsin's erroneous policies.

However, the Committee on Control and Regulation of the State Duma of the Russian Federation, emphasizing that it shares the feelings of the authors of the document, still did not consider it possible to support the LDPR initiative, since it does not contain specific indications of the personal guilt of Mikhail Gorbachev and Boris Yeltsin in the events that occurred with Russia in early 1990 years. The Committee emphasized that there was no evidence that the dramatic processes that had occurred with the country were the result of the activities of Gorbachev and Yeltsin. But who, besides the top leaders of the country, should be responsible for its fate? Who launched the process of "perestroika", disastrous for a single state? Welcomed the "parades of sovereignty"? Signed an agreement in Belovezhskaya Pushcha? They preferred not to notice these circumstances in the State Duma. Although Vladimir Zhirinovsky noted that the document used the most soft language. The reaction of the Communist leader Gennady Zyuganov, who called the LDPR initiative opportunistic, is also interesting.

Meanwhile, the appearance of this initiative in itself shows that Russia is moving to a sober assessment of the consequences of the collapse of the Soviet Union. One of the main participants in those events, the first president Boris Yeltsin, died back in April 2007, but Mikhail Gorbachev, who turned 2 on March 87, is still alive today, continuing to comment on current political events. Although periodically representatives of the left and patriotic opposition call for holding him accountable, of course, this will not be done, and it hardly makes sense to touch an elderly 87-year-old man.

The collapse of the USSR, as a result of which both Russia and other post-Soviet republics were waiting for the most dramatic events - from impoverishment of the population to bloody civil wars and ethnic cleansing, claimed the lives of millions of people in the post-Soviet space. These are those who died in wars and interethnic conflicts, and died from diseases, poor living conditions. Although now the authorities are not ready to give a fair assessment of the actions of the then first persons of the USSR and Russia, sooner or later, history will finally put everything in its place.

    In the State Duma, the majority belongs to Ed. Russia, and therefore it does not reflect the opinion of the people.

    No matter how tragic and criminal the role of these "politicians" is, there will be no objective assessment, because, whatever one may say, they are their own and are much closer to the authorities than the people who suffered from their activities.

    Late LDPR caught on. If they had made this statement before the election, they would have been in the second place after Putin in the presidential election ...
