Posner called the USSR "an absolutely artificial formation"
TV presenter and journalist Vladimir Pozner on his website, answering a subscriber’s question, spoke about his attitude to the petition demanding to investigate the events of the USSR’s illegal liquidation in 1991.
On words journalist, he does not support the petition and will not sign it, since he believes that the USSR was an absolutely artificial entity, and, in fact, the republics did not want to be part of it.
Vladimir Pozner believes that the only ones who want to restore the USSR are Russians, and their desire is based on the fact that they were at the head of the Soviet Union.
It is quite interesting to hear such a statement from a person who gave the Soviet Union a start in life, and who, becoming a communist in 1967, until the collapse of the USSR, "presented in the best light the statements and decisions of the leadership of the Soviet Union regarding various domestic and international issues, and often justified the most controversial of them ”(Wikipedia).
Here, perhaps, it's time to ask Posner, when did he really not lie? Then, when he was the secretary of the party committee and convinced Soviet citizens and Western spectators of the correctness of the actions of the USSR? Or now, when it says that the Soviet Union was "an absolutely artificial entity"?
