Question

Highlight any two facts that establish that Russia was accepted as the successor state of the Soviet Union.

Answer 1

The following are the two facts that establish that Russia was accepted as the successor state of the Soviet Union:

1. When Boris Yeltsin won an election, he became a national hero and started to get rid of the centralized rule. This meant that the states began to gain power rather than the Soviet Union.
2. Led by Yeltsin, Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus announced in December 1991 that the Soviet Union “was disbanded.” It was decided to ban the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and switch to capitalism with democracy.
