New Union Treaty
Proposed treaty on the reformation of the Soviet Union in 1991
New Union Treaty
The New Union Treaty (Russian: Новый союзный договор, romanized: Novyy soyuznyy dogovor) was a 1990 draft treaty that would have replaced the 1922 Treaty on the Creation of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) to salvage and reform the USSR. The preparation of this treaty was known as the Novo-Ogaryovo process, named after Novo-Ogaryovo, a governmental estate where the work on the document was carried out and where Soviet President and CPSU General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev talked with leaders of Union republics. A ceremony of the Russian SFSR signing the treaty was scheduled for 20 August 1991, but was prevented by the August Coup. In its aftermath, the Soviet Union ultimately dissolved by December of the same year, and the Commonwealth of Independent States was set up in its place.
