      You’re being willfully dense.

      It was a verbal agreement with that PizzaHut munching drunken imbecile, Gorbachev.

      There were two referendums, the first one was to choose whether to stay in the Soviet Union. Almost every Republic, including Ukraine, chose to stay. One stupid stupid stupid little man chose to instead abolish the Soviet Union instead of respecting a decided democratic mandate.

      It was never about democracy.
