| | | The article discusses fundamental reasons, as well as strategic and tactic mistakes of the Soviet leadership that brought about self-destruction of the Soviet Union. Participants of Belovezh Accords directly connected the international recognition of their independence with the obligation to create the Commonwealth of Independent States as an inter-governmental union, with common socio-economic, military and strategic space, coordinated foreign policy and protection of linguistic, ethnic and cultural minority rights. The author analyzes consequences of the present-day distortions of historical memory with regard to Belovezh Accords and the failure to implement international commitments adopted within their frames. | | Key words: collapse of the Soviet Union, CIS, the Commonwealth of Independent States, Belovezh Accords, Agreements to create the Commonwealth of Independent States, sovereignty and independence of the former Soviet republics, integrational and disintegrational processes on the post-Soviet space | | Pages: 6 - 11 |
