Anton Kobyakov, adviser to Russian President Vladimir Putin, claimed at the St. Petersburg International Legal Forum that the USSR’s dissolution was legally invalid and that the Soviet Union still exists under constitutional law, framing the Ukraine war as an “internal process.”
At the St. Petersburg International Legal Forum’s closing press conference, Anton Kobyakov argued that the Soviet Union was legally never dissolved because only the Congress of People’s Deputies had the authority to do so. He said the Supreme Soviets of the union republics lacked power to ratify the 1991 Belavezha Accords.
According to Kobyakov, this means the USSR still exists legally, making the conflict in Ukraine an internal issue rather than an international war.
