Yeltsin's associate named those responsible for the collapse of the USSR

The leadership of the USSR at the end of the 1980s led the country to disintegration, Ruslan Khasbulatov, the then chairman of the Supreme Soviet (Supreme Soviet) of the RSFSR and close associate of the first president of Russia Boris Yeltsin, told Lente.ru about this.

“Who is the main culprit? The main culprit is us. And including me. Unfortunately, we harmed our state, "Khasbulatov noted, fending off the first president of the USSR, Mikhail Gorbachev, who announced the participation of Western elites in the collapse of the Soviet Union.

According to Khasbulatov, the key factor in the country's disintegration was a vain power struggle between Gorbachev and Yeltsin, which had "nothing to do" with the interests of the population.

Earlier, ex-President of Kazakhstan Nursultan Nazarbayev expressed his opinion on the reasons for the collapse of the USSR. He believes that in order to preserve the country, it was necessary to carry out a reformation in the management of the economy in time. However, as the politician said, the Soviet elites could not cope with this due to a lack of political will.
