After the August 19,191 incident, there was a vacuum in the decision-making level of the Soviet Union, and the whole country fell into chaos. At the same time, the soviet union's member states also became independent, and the collapse of the Soviet Union was irreparable.
In order to divide the fruits of victory, the three giants of East Slavs began a concrete plan. After some preparations, Yeltsin and Ukrainian President Kravchuk decided to meet with The Chairman of the Supreme Soviet of Belarus, Shushkevich, to discuss the fate of the Soviet Union.
On December 7, 1991, Yeltsin went to Belarus without former President Mikhail Gorbachev. Why hide from Gorbachev? It turned out that although Gorbachev had resigned and resigned, he still had great influence, so the meeting that decided to disintegrate the Soviet Union must be hidden from Gorbachev.
As soon as Yeltsin arrived in Belarus, he gave a speech on the prospects of the member states: "We cannot live without each other. We will sign treaties as equal partners", which shows that Yeltsin himself is imperative to establish a CIS state. In the afternoon, the heads of state of the three countries arrived at the small villa near belovezh Park and began the journey of dividing up the Soviet heritage.
At the beginning of the meeting, the leaders of the three countries did not back down to each other, and all hoped to fight for the greatest interests of their own countries. Sadly, none of them remembered the glory of the Soviet Union and began a war of words for political gain. Ukrainian President Kravchuk soon became at odds with Yeltsin. Yeltsin believed that although the Soviet Union was facing disintegration, the three countries could still forge a new alliance to fend off foreign enemies.
But Kravchuk believed that there was no need for an alliance and that Ukraine should move toward true independence, so he smiled and refuted Yeltsin's request. In this case, the meeting was filled with embarrassment, and no one knew whether the meeting would go smoothly. In the end, it was Shushkevich who stepped forward as a peacemaker.
In addition, Ukrainian Prime Minister Fokin also believes that the three countries share common blood relations, so they cannot simply move towards independence. To this end, Fokin cleverly used roundabout tactics to persuade the president. Seeing that there were so many people who opposed it, Kravchuk reluctantly agreed to Yeltsin's proposal. "Since most people advocate signing treaties, perhaps we really shouldn't go our separate ways and go too far with each other," Kravchuk said.
The meeting ended in a successful deal for the big three, but they still had concerns. They believed that Gorbachev was the legitimate heir to the political legacy of the Soviet Union, and that Gorbachev would use force to settle the matter. In fact, the then Chairman of the Belarusian KGB, Scherkovsky, also attended the meeting, a staunch anti-disintegrator. In order to obstruct the proceedings, Scherkovsky reported to Gorbachev every few hours on the meeting.
Scherkovsky suggested that Gorbachev use the army to arrest the participants, but Gorbachev eventually refused. The reason is that without him, Gorbachev does not have the support of the army, so he is only powerless for this situation. But is this really the case? It is understood that most of the Soviet army at that time did not want the Soviet Union to disintegrate, and the chairman of the KGB in the member countries was a staunch "anti-disintegrator", so Gorbachev still had great influence and prestige. But to great surprise, Gorbachev once again flinched.
When the Events of August 19 broke out that year, Gorbachev clearly had the ability to stop it, but for some benefit, he decided to compromise with Yeltsin. What can be exchanged for it? In exchange for nothing more than the collapse of the Soviet Union. At this time history once again stood by Gorbachev's side, as long as he gave orders. The Soviet Union may not have disintegrated. But to his disappointment, Gorbachev flinched again.
In the face of this inaction, the general trend of the collapse of the Soviet Union has become irreversible. Yeltsin and others began drafting documents after the conference to announce the collapse of the Soviet Union. In fact, the document is not easy to write, the key is that the principle of "civilized divorce" is not easy to overstep. Each member state plays its own small nine-nine, so it is difficult to balance the forces of all sides. But no matter how difficult it is, it cannot stop Yeltsin's "ambition", as long as it is decided that the collapse of the Soviet Union will be easy to talk about.
The next day, the Belovezh Agreement came into force, and the Soviet Union became history. People do not know that the great Soviet Union has disintegrated, they are still immersed in sleep, and only the participants know that the end of the Soviet Union has arrived!
On December 8, 1991, the representatives of the three countries decided to sign the agreement, and after the signing ceremony, it was proposed to call Gorbachev. But no one wanted to do it, and in the end it was Yeltsin who made the call. Although Gorbachev was furious, he eventually gave in in the face of Yeltsin's aggressiveness. Yeltsin was shocked that Gorbachev raised the issue of his retirement benefits after nothing could be done. Then he said annoyedly, "We'll give you a pension." ”
Although Gorbachev's attitude was irritating, the participants breathed a sigh of relief, after all, everything that can be solved with money is not a thing. Subsequently, Yeltsin also gained the allegiance of Soviet Defense Minister Shaboshnikov, which meant that the disintegration of the Soviet Union was irreparable!
On the evening of December 25, 1991, Gorbachev announced his resignation as president of the Soviet Union, and then handed over the "nuclear box" to Yeltsin. At this point, the history of the Soviet Union has come to an end once and for all!
