As we all know, the Soviet Union was once a very powerful country. 15 The Great League of Nations was formed after Lenin's October Revolution and after more than 30 years of hard work.

However, it did not escape the fate of disintegration. On February 25th, 199 165438, President Gorbachev handed over the nuclear button as a symbol of power to Russian President Yeltsin. Since then, the Soviet Union has split into 15 independent countries, large and small. But how to divide the many state-owned assets left by the former Soviet powers, and what will happen to the millions of huge Soviet troops in former China?

Legacy debt and overseas assets

Due to the economic depression of the former Soviet Union, it was heavily in debt. When discussing the distribution plan, other countries, such as Ukraine, which did not want to bear the debt, agreed to the resolution that "Russia is the natural successor of the Soviet Union", so Russia assumed the overseas debt of the Soviet Union as high as $265.438+$300 million, and inherited the permanent seat of the Soviet Union in the UN Security Council.

In 2006, Russia paid off all the foreign debts owed by the former Soviet Union and began to liquidate the overseas claims of the former Soviet Union. At this time, Ukraine stood up and asked for distribution. Ukrainian Finance Minister Philip Chuk said that Russia's voluntary repayment of foreign debts does not prove that it can completely inherit the overseas heritage of the former Soviet Union, and Ukraine and other participating countries have the right to inherit and divide it.

Russia, of course, ignores Ukraine's unwillingness to take on debts and just wants to compete for assets.

State-owned fixed assets

The former Soviet Union built a certain scale of industrial, agricultural and military fixed assets in various places and at home, and adopted the method of territorial inheritance. At that time, Ukraine was a heavy industry and military manufacturing base in the Soviet era, including submarines, tanks, warships and other factories, all of which were embraced by Ukraine.

At that time, the Soviet Air Force owned 25 Tu-160 strategic bombers, of which 19 were in Ukraine and owned by Ukraine. Russia recovered 8 of them in the form of paying off Ukrainian debts, and 1 1 agreed to pay. Unfortunately, due to lack of financial resources at that time, Russia never completed the transaction, and was later dumped by Ukraine.

At that time, the warship Varyag was also anchored at the Black Sea Shipyard and returned to Ukraine. Similarly, Russia can't afford to pay for it. We leaked it and became the Liaoning ship today.

As a former nuclear superpower, in its heyday, the Soviet Union possessed more than 30,000 nuclear bombs, mainly distributed in Russia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan. 15 of the participating countries, only Russia has the ability to keep these nuclear bombs, and other countries have to hand them over to Russia or destroy them. Because the army was in chaos when the Soviet Union disintegrated, there were even incidents of reselling nuclear weapons to the Middle East.

Although Ukraine doesn't have as many nuclear warheads as Russia, at the beginning of its independence, it was still the third largest nuclear weapons possessor in the world, second only to Russia and the United States. In order to prevent nuclear proliferation, the United States demanded that Kazakhstan and Ukraine destroy nuclear weapons on the condition of providing economic assistance. In order to get American assistance, the nuclear weapons of both countries were destroyed under the supervision of western countries.

State and army

The Soviet Union is a multi-ethnic country. The Baltic countries and other nations that were coerced into World War II have always had a feeling of resistance and opposition. In order to assimilate and infiltrate, the Soviet Union constantly mixed Russians into various countries.

For the population of all countries, no matter what nationality you are, the principle of residence and domicile is adopted. However, some joining countries introduced some assimilation policies after independence, which led to a large number of Russians leaving and returning to Russia.

As for the army, when the Soviet Union disintegrated, there were about 3.7 million soldiers stationed at the borders of countries that joined the Soviet Union or overseas bases. At that time, in order to assimilate and integrate all ethnic groups, the Soviet Union adopted the law of military service in different places, that is, sending soldiers from various countries to serve in different countries.

When allocating troops, we must first follow the principle of ethnic division. Soldiers can either return to their hometown after serving in their current station or directly return to their hometown to continue their unfinished military service. You can also choose to live directly at the current station.

(Withdraw Soviet troops stationed overseas)

At that time, most of the armed forces of the army came from Russia, so what other poor countries were unwilling to accept was taken over by Russia. A total of 2 million Soviet troops were converted into Russian troops, and all the overseas military bases of the former Soviet Union were taken over by Russia.

This flexible way is conducive to the preservation of Soviet combat effectiveness, especially the officer class, who prefer to stay in the Russian army rather than return to their hometown. Therefore, even today, there are still officers from the original participating countries in the Russian army.

After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the cold war situation of hegemony between the United States and the Soviet Union collapsed, and there was no tit-for-tat arms race. The world is more peaceful. The economies of Russia and Eastern Europe began to recover slowly. However, Yeltsin, who took the initiative to show kindness to the West, did not wait for the eager close cooperation between the United States and Russia.

In the face of Russia, which inherited the great power status and military nuclear deterrent of the former Soviet Union, the United States still regards it as the number one international threat. It launched the color revolution in Georgia and Ukraine, and strategically blocked Russia. Yeltsin, who regretted it, finally did the right thing, that is, to use Putin.

Today, under the leadership of Putin, Russia annexed Crimea, stirring up the situation in eastern Ukraine and showing superb political means and wisdom. Russia is gradually rebuilding the international prestige of the Soviet Union.
