Communist party leader Gennady Zyuganov commented on the words of the President of Russia Vladimir Putin about the “time bomb” in the Soviet Constitution. His words RIA Novosti reported.
According to the Communist, Soviet leaders Vladimir Lenin and Joseph Stalin advocated the formation of a unified and indivisible state. However, many countries that had independence, were willing to join the Union only if they will have the right to secede from the Union.
“In the three constitutions was laid form of statehood. In the first two — Lenin and Stalin — it was about the dictatorship of the proletariat. (…) I had to fend off counter-revolution inside the country and of the Entente, which was strangling the Soviet Republic. Needed a hard power, but the working people,” explained Zyuganov.
While in the Brezhnev Constitution stated “national government” and not “the dictatorship of the proletariat”, said the leader of the party. According to him, there is only one law politics and history: “I live by the Constitution if they reflect the interests of the people, their aspirations and strengthen the state.”
Earlier, the Russian leader said that the Soviet Constitution was a “time bomb” on the right of exit of republics from the USSR. This “Leninist thesis” was laid in 1922, with the formation of the Soviet Union, Putin said.
