    The old people were quite happy with it, and want to go back. Not all, but quite a sizable part of them do.

          How many of them were Russians? Russia was the biggest part of the USSR and they didn’t dissolve the union but the other (smaller) states left.

            The referendum did not include the states that already left (like the Baltic states and Armenia). Russia was the largest state but they actually were one of the lowest who voted to keep (above 70% I believe). The central Asian states voted the highest to keep the union (over 90%). Belarus and Azerbaijan were also very high.

            The dissolution was not only illegal but clearly against the will of the people.
