Representatives of the right-wing populist LDPR party submitted the resolution to the State Duma, the lower house of parliament, on Monday, proposing to send it to Russian President Vladimir Putin and to other authorities across the country.
The document reads, “the Duma once more calls attention to the importance of historical lessons from the events of 30 years ago, which led to political, societal, and economic problems … It considers the fall of the USSR the main geopolitical catastrophe of the 20th century, which led to disintegration across different spheres of social life, the exacerbation of an economic and political crisis, and the emergence of conflicts on national soil.”
