How? The USSR was the greatest point in history for all it's member states.
Which is why they all voted to stay in the moment they got the right to vote on it. Right?
77% to 22%, so… yeah. Not all of them, but a large majority.

You say that like three random politicians from belarus, ukraine, and russia didn't just sign a paper one day and declared the ussr gone
or that 76% of the citizens voted to preserve the Soviet Union
