        I don’t understand the bad faith part. Obviously the Soviet Union decided at some point to ignore the will of the people, when did that start?

          My original comment was talking specifically about that vote and what happened with Yeltsin SPECIFICALLY as being the instance where they were ignoring the will people. I’m not entirely sure how you can in good faith try and misconstrue that into a situation where I need to tell you when the point the soviet union stopped listening to the people therein, when its also a really complex situation that requires a century’s worth of explanation.
