A Fraud Against the Population of the Ukrainian SSR: Why Has the Resolution of the Supreme Council of the Ukrainian SSR “On the Declaration of Independence of Ukraine” Still Not Been Implemented
Received: 24.09.2024
In accordance with Article 1 of the Law of Ukraine “On Succession of States,” the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, in its composition as the deputies of the Verkhovna Rada of the Ukrainian SSR, was obligated to vote for the proclamation of Ukraine’s independence.
To clarify this, an official request was submitted to obtain archival scan copies of two key historical documents:
— The Resolution of the Supreme Council of the Ukrainian SSR “On the Proclamation of Ukraine’s Independence”;
— and The Act of the Proclamation of Ukraine’s Independence.
However, after receiving the archival copies, an unexpected discovery emerged.
It turned out that the Act had been drafted with malicious intent — its text contradicted the Resolution of the Supreme Council of the Ukrainian SSR, and certain words had been substituted, changing the legal meaning entirely.
According to the Ukrainian National Commission on Orthography, the names of states must be written with a capital letter — “Ukraine”.
Therefore, even the slightest alteration in wording carries significant legal implications.
