The Kremlin called Russia de facto and de jure successor of the USSR

“This is the opinion of a member of the Constitutional Court. There is such a practice of publishing such an opinion. In this case, we leave this without comment, proceeding from the fact that Russia is both de jure and de facto the successor of the Soviet Union, ”said Peskov.

As noted, this opinion Aranovsky expressed in addition to the decision of the Constitutional Court on the reimbursement of housing taken from citizens during the Soviet repressions.
