Yevgeny Fedorov, a deputy from the United Russia party, has submitted a bill to the Russian State Duma on the abolition of the recognition of Lithuanian independence.

The bill proposes to cancel the decision of the USSR State Council "On Recognition of Independence of the Republic of Lithuania on September 6, 1991.

Fedorov believes that the decree of the State Council of the USSR was illegal because it violated the Constitution of the USSR and the law on the withdrawal of Union republics, since no referendum on withdrawal was held in Lithuania.

"Also, the Law of the USSR of 03.04.1990 No. 1409-1 "On the Procedure for Resolving Questions Related to the Secession of a Union Republic from the USSR" was violated, since no referendum on secession from the Union SSR was held in the Republic of Lithuania and no transitional period was established to consider all disputed issues," said Fedorov.

The fate of the bill is not yet clear, as it has just been registered.
