Gregory's Server@tallship Well...
In a letter to the UN Secretary-General from Boris Yeltsin, on Christmas Eve, 1991, he asked that Russia take the place of the Soviet Union in the UN, including the USSR's permanent seat on the UNSC.
This was not without objection by legal scholars, however, it's met with no objections from other members of the Security Council.
The tragedy, in my mind, is in knowing that the masses of people worldwide had the foresight that this acceptance by the UN would result in the continued hamstringing and disruption of the UN in passing resolutions; as Russia now would wield the same veto power that the USSR previously enjoyed.
