More bluster from the republic of Meauxron... and of course it's goal post moving time since you don't want to talk about independence for Ingushetia or Dagestan or Northern Ossetia. If they vote for independence, then they would get it, right? 'Cos all polls in Russia are the will of the people and must be followed, right? Hey bro, how many states have recognized South Ossetia? Don't you know? Here's another view of the first and last referendum in the USSR... 'cos the voice of the people was always a really big thing there First, the question put before the people was phrased in a highly convoluted way: “Do you consider necessary the preservation of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics as a renewed federation of equal sovereign republics, in which the rights and freedoms of persons of all nationalities would be fully guaranteed?” It is really difficult to grasp the gist of this complicated sentence. It is also somewhat akin to asking: “Do you think it is better to be rich and healthy?” Second, the supreme authorities in the six republics refused to take part. These were not just the Baltic republics that had unequivocally opted for self-determination up to cessation or Georgia where Zviad Gamsakhurdia proclaimed a nationalist, isolationist policy but also Armenia and Moldavia – hitherto seemingly loyal. Moreover, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Georgia and Armenia conducted their own referendums at which the overwhelming majority voted for full independence. Moldavia was split: residents in the self-proclaimed territories of Gagauzia and Transdnestr voted to retain the Union whereas all others boycotted the referendum. In other republics only Soviet army servicemen participated in the vote. The centrifugal process had gained strong momentum and now took disintegration beyond the point of return. http://sputniknews.com/analysis/20110324/163178963.html#ixzz4AKAPiljV |

70% of citizens of USSR voted for preservation of it. If you grant a minority the right not to follow the will of the majority - then why do you refuze the same right for even smaller minority of South Ossetia etc not to follow the will of the bigger minority? |

double post besides, Georgians are brainless people, their national tradition is to bloodily otherthrow all elected presidents. They are a failed state of kids who don't know what to want and unable to be responsible for themselves. Excluding the last one, an American puppet Saakashvili, who attacked Ossetia, he's just wanted, not killed yet

That's it, put your head down, ignore all questions and just repeat yourself ad nauseum... clearly, you really are Russian To your query, I'd figure about 50% didn't even understand the question and in a number of republics, they voted for independence, no doubt you would recognize that as the will of the people How about you look up how many nations recognized South Ossetia? |

Lol, Jake, don't judge people on your ability of comprehention, USSR citizens are not Americans, they don't need comixes and pretty well understand the writtent texts, even Georgians. Or you cant choose between living in or out of the Union? ![]() And don't set yourself a trap, I see no problem to tell you that several funny states like Nicaragua recognized South Ossetia, you chose the wrong thing to put your stakes on ![]() Besides, if South Ossetia joins Russia even this imaginary problem will be solved though, as I said, our recognition is quite enough for Ossetia to becone independent ![]() While it's you turn as an American not to put your head down, ignore all questiobs and just repeat yourself - why do you deny the right of smaller minorities to break aeay from bigger ones? And please don't forget to explain American recognition of human organs and narco traffic hub of Kosovo as a state. |

Nicaragua recognized S. Ossetia? That's really robust support there, friend. How about Nauru?I would posit that most of the people voting for the question thought they were voting for full independence and sovereignty inside of a larger trade union, like the EU, not the status quo where the Soviets ruled everything. There would be few people outside of Russia voting for that. And surprisingly( ) you ignored the votes of the Baltics and Georgia among others who wanted no part of being back in the union. I know I'm surprised.It's interesting that you brought up Kossovo... so since they voted for independence, they should allowed to be independent, right? That's been your argument all along... or are you going to move the goalposts again? I get dizzy just looking at your arguments... |
