" The Russian leadership in the face of Yeltsin outwardly advocated the preservation of the Union, but I felt that there was some kind of trap. Behind was conducted cunning work secret from the leadership of the Union, preparing for the collapse of the USSR. Boris Yeltsin before the trip to Belarus said that going to the meeting on matters of bilateral relations, and that made the decision there to invite the Ukrainian President, to talk to him about the upcoming referendum on Ukraine's independence. I say it's good and right, because without Ukraine is no longer a Union, and if he won't agree, let him come to the capital of Russia, we will here discuss, " he said in an interview " Russian news service ". According to him, " Yeltsin arrived, the Ukrainians fundamentally voted for independence and decided to declare that the Union has exhausted itself "." They did it, and first called, reported the Bush, and after me. I strongly suggested that you can't the three of us to decide this case peoples. Either Ukrainians Or Belarusians in the capital of Russia has not arrived, arrived only Nazarbayev, who was a keen conversation, " said the politician. According to him, if this story was isolated from the other moments, there would be an opportunity to consider the use of force - but increased in the Republic, their economy, formed frames, it was necessary to give them freedom." I was for the fact that it is necessary to save the state, despite the fact that the leaders of the republics were Union countries. The fight was sharp, " added Mikhail Gorbachev. Remember, the First day of the week, December 8, 23 years old since then, as the presidents of Russia, Belarus and Ukraine signed Belovezh agreement on the dissolution of the USSR and the creation of the CIS. After a few days of this agreement was joined by leaders of eight republics, and December 25, Mikhail Gorbachev resigned as the range of possibilities of the President " on principle ".
