Lithuanian Seimas Deputy Matas Maldeikis commented on the proposal of State Duma deputy Yevgeny Fedorov on Friday (June 10th) pull back Resolution on the recognition of the independence of Lithuania, adopted by the State Council of the USSR in 1991.
“If Russia cancels the recognition of Lithuania’s independence in 1991, Lithuania will cancel the 1634 Treaty of Polyanovsky and receive a letter from Putin IV. Smolensk Lithuania!” – claims Maldeikis, who posted a post on Twitter.
Let’s add that the Seimas has not yet taken any initiative at the legislative level regarding the Polyanovsky Treaty.
Grigory Karasin, chairman of the Federation Council’s international relations committee, recommended that Maldeikis “take a serious and mature view of certain security issues in Europe and the world as a whole”.
“Because such statements, firstly, testify to the immaturity of politicians, and secondly, they contribute to the rise of tensions between countries. Therefore, it is necessary to deal with practical, real things that strengthen the security and predictability of the political situation in Europe. Take things a little more seriously. This kind of reasoning leads to absolutely opposite conclusions, ”he said in an interview with socialbites.ca.
What was offered in Moscow
This week, a bill was submitted to the State Duma to repeal the USSR State Council’s decision recognizing Lithuanian independence. This is a document that was adopted on September 6, 1991, a few months before the collapse of the Soviet Union.

The USSR law “On the procedure for resolving issues of the Union republic’s secession from the USSR” was also violated, since there was no referendum in the Republic of Lithuania on secession from the Soviet Union and there was no transitional period. it was not established to address all controversial issues,” he says in the explanatory material.
Fedorov, Article 67.1 of the Constitution of Russia. recalled that “the Russian Federation is the legal successor of the USSR on its territory”, pursuant to its article. So, according to his estimates, the decision of the State Council of the USSR of September 6, 1991 [о признании независимости Литвы — «Газета.Ru»] It was supposed to be cancelled.
