Millions of people in Cuba were left without electricity for two days after the nation’s energy grid went down when one of the island’s major power plants failed.
I’m not going to mince words over partisan bs. It was illegally disbanded, just as the US would be illegally disbanded if California, Texas, and New York agreed to leave the US.
If you don’t like my phrasing, then perhaps you should tell me why it wasn’t illegally disbanded. The RSFSR, SDPU, and BSSR leaders met independently and agreed independently to secede from the USSR. That’s just as illegal as the example I provided about the US.
Yes, the dissolution was made complete by Gorbachev in an official capacity. That doesn’t change the fact that the CIS was started illegally to the personal benefit of Yeltsin, Kravchuk, and Shushkevich.
You have fun with that, buddy.

Some minor Soviet apparatus made some unimportant official declaration on the matter or something, idk
