Russian MP proposes to abolish Lithuania ‘s independence TVNOVINY.sk – TVNOVINY.sk

Russian legislator Yevgeny Fedorov proposes to repeal the 1991 resolution recognizing Lithuania’s independence. He claims that the decision taken at the time was contrary to the Soviet constitution and is therefore invalid. Fedorov has already sent the proposal to the State Duma for discussion, inform Novinky.cz. “There was a violation of the law on the procedure for resolving issues related to the withdrawal from the USSR. For example, he expected a referendum – but the Lithuanians did not hold it. There was also a transition period needed to resolve the controversial issues – they did without it. They had a legal right to leave – but they went the other way, “Fedorov explained in an interview with the daily Komsomolskaya pravda. When asked why the independence of Lithuania and not other post-Soviet countries is in his throat, he replied that it was due to the connection with the Kaliningrad region, ie the Russian exclave in Europe. “Lithuania is a priority for us. It is a more important territory than others. It is a passage to the Kaliningrad region. And they are consistently pursuing the most aggressive anti-Russian policy, “the Russian legislator added, without specifying what the adoption of his proposal should mean in practice.
