recent rv about Presidents

There were no Presidents in Belarus before 1994. --Monkbel 06:33, 9 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

yep. I think so too. Bakharev was wrong to revert [1]. Also, not only presidents, but prime-ministers were also there. "leaders" is the right word, imho. --KPbIC 07:10, 14 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Referendum

Why does this have no links to the all-USSR referendum on the preservation of the USSR that occurred just before the dissolution? It seems to be directly relevant to the issue of legality of the dissolution. 207.216.69.186 (talk) 04:50, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox: flags

The infobox had been showing the Ukrainian SSR flag alongside the post-Soviet triband flags of Russia and and Belarus (rather than the flags of the Russian SFSR and Byelorussian SSR).

I have therefore changed the Ukrainian flag to the post-Soviet bicolour design. It is now consistent both with the other two flags used in the infobox, and the flag used by the Ukrainian government itself at the signing of the Accords, as evidenced by the photograph.

For sure, use of the Ukrainian bicolour at this time was de-facto, rather than de-jure, but this 'unofficial' status also applied to the Russian tricolour at this point in history. The Belarussian triband had, I think, been officially readopted in August 91 (?).

Word "denounce"

The word "denounce" is used in a special technical diplomatic meaning in this article (Wiktionary: "To announce the termination of; especially a treaty or armistice") which may be confusing to some people without some kind of explanation. AnonMoos (talk) 07:20, 15 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Good point. I've added a footnoted definition and citation for it. I had hoped to find a source specifically discussing it in the context of this agreement, but I was not able to, so I figured it would be better to go ahead and add the generic definition that I had for now. Perhaps another editor will have better luck.--EightYearBreak (talk) 13:02, 17 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
