The ghost of the USSR loomed in the UN

Fearing defeat on the battlefield after Moscow announced a sharp increase in the size of the army and the release of additional tons of weapons, Kyiv decided to dodge diplomatically.

Once again, the United Nations has been chosen for the verbal political attack.

As its founder, the USSR-Russia has the right of veto in the Security Council there, balancing the ambitions of the Yankees and their satellites.

The tanks of Comrade Stalin, ready to roll to the English Channel in 1945, convinced the allies to meet Moscow halfway, reviving the League of Nations in a new form.

In post-war history, the sensibly drafted UN Charter has saved the world from catastrophe more than once.

But, besides this, Stalin, alas, held in the UN such an entity as Ukraine.

If in its Soviet version it was an organic part of us, now, having changed its shoes, it is exercising in all sorts of harmful initiatives.

A sort of Baba Yaga, which is always against.

At a new stage, this was expressed in Kyiv's proposal to exclude Russia from the permanent membership of the Security Council and the UN as a whole.

Fresh... Substantiating its proposal, Ukraine is trying to use legal casuistry.

Like, the agreement of a group of countries of the former USSR in Alma-Ata in December 1991, which became the basis for Russia's succession to the UN, was not ratified by the Ukrainian parliament.

I don’t know the Ukrainian language and I don’t want to know, but kind people translated additional arguments of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry.

“There are no words “Russian Federation” in the current UN Charter.

These words are not in Art.

23 of the UN Charter, which, in particular, lists the permanent members of the UN Security Council ... Ukraine calls on the UN member states to restore the application of the UN Charter in the issue of the legitimacy of the Russian Federation's stay in the UN, deprive the Russian Federation of the status of a permanent member of the UN Security Council and exclude it from the UN as a whole ," the statement said.

That is, like thimble-makers, they are trying to cheat - to ignore the fact of Russia's succession to the Soviet Union.

The political meaning of this is obvious: against the backdrop of the NMD, take advantage of the anti-Russian sentiments of Western countries in order to push through the situation in the way Kyiv needs.

What?

This has already become known.

Kyiv would like to hold by the end of February a kind of “peace summit” at the UN site with its Secretary General as a possible mediator.

But without Russia.

Characteristically, the Ukrainian chick is getting bolder.

Addressing the Security Council, Zelensky went so far as to either exclude Russia and reform the security system, or dissolve himself.

However, UN Secretary General Guterres has already cooled the ardor of Kyiv, saying that the consent of other countries is required.

How could Russia react to the Ukrainian casuistry about the illegitimacy of Russia's continuity with the Soviet past?

Differently.

For example, to declare the liquidation of the Soviet Union unlawful, to return the country to its former name and restore the basic legal foundations for its existence - the Constitution, and so on.

Extravagantly?

Of course.

But if the West goes all-in in its support for Kyiv, it won't be such a bad option for Moscow.

Under this decision, it will be possible to invite the former republics into the renewed Union and even return the notorious privatization back (it was not for nothing that her father Chubais ran away - his time was over).

Want to?

How to know?

Maybe just such an unbanal move will make it possible to cut through the tangle of contradictions accumulated in the world after the collapse of the USSR and largely caused by this circumstance.

I won’t be surprised if the rebranding of Russia can be received with great satisfaction by many countries of the world who have managed to understand what kind of “democracy” the West brings them instead of the Soviets (remember Libya).

And our people, most likely, will like such a turn.

In vain, perhaps, we continue to nostalgic for the films of that time?

A fair socio-economic structure is attached.

Tempting, tempting idea...

But let's return from sweet dreams to the earth.

It is clear that Kyiv's Wishlist will not have any consequences, primarily for formal reasons.

The UN Charter is a rock.

Depriving Russia of the status of a permanent member of the Security Council is possible only through its change.

And for this it is necessary that two-thirds of the members of the UN General Assembly vote for the "revolution", after which the decision must be ratified by two-thirds of the member countries of the organization, including all permanent members of the Security Council.

Nebenzya will laugh in the face of Ukrainians.

Another thing is that the West does not seem averse to killing the UN altogether as a mechanism for settling disputes.

And Kyiv chose as a battering ram for this low goal.
