    It proclaimed the sovereignty of the Russian SFSR and the intention to establish a democratic constitutional state within a liberalized Soviet Union.

    within a liberalized Soviet Union

    So they didn’t declare “independence” from the USSR like the other republics, thanks for making my point for me.

        CIS was its successor
