If I'm not mistaken, and please correct me if I am, the last republic to leave the USSR was Kazakhstan - making that nation the actual USSR successor state. Though the capital was in Moscow, Russia left the USSR while the USSR still existed, and thus is not the USSR successor state.
- rngfnby 7mo agoLegally Russia is the internationally recognized successor state. Russia even paid off the whole Soviet debt, but in exchange inherited all of the USSR's legal privileges (right to have nukes under NPT, right to the spot on the Sec Council, right to observer state in Danube, etc)
