Direct translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[REGNUM] Former President of the USSR Mikhail Gorbachev himself brought the state to such a state that it was already disintegrating. This was announced by the last chairman of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR Ruslan Khasbulatov, commenting on Gorbachev's words about the possibility of saving the USSR by creating the Commonwealth of Sovereign States (SSG).

"He brought the state to such a state that it was already disintegrating. It was lucky that the putsch took place, because if not for that, everyone would have accused him of defeating the Soviet Union. And now, you see, he has the opportunity to say: 'No, I would have kept it,' but they prevented me," he said in an interview with Gazeta.ru.

Khasbulatov added that the only difference between the JIT project and the CIS agreement would be the presence of a “powerless president”.

As reported by IA REGNUM, earlier Mikhail Gorbachev, the first president of the USSR, named a way that could save the USSR after the August 1991 coup. According to him, the country could be saved by creating the Union of Sovereign States.
