Thus, Lithuania and other republics of the USSR, has not only formal attributes (shield, flag, anthem, independent government, etc.), but real powers. It also has its own citizenship and grant such option, right to secede from the USSR, which is a legal guarantee for its unification voluntarily separate or integrated into the USSR continue to decide what the republic itself depending on the will of its people. The fact that throughout the existence of the Soviet Union no republic has exercised this right, is a testimony that this serves the interests of their peoples.
is understood that the Lithuanian SSR, and all members of the USSR, gave the latter part of his powers. On the other hand, gained new powers under the equal rights of all Soviet republics and participation in solving national tasks. The informal nature of this participation is expressed in the work of the plenipotentiary representatives of the Lithuanian SSR not only in the highest organ of power, the Supreme Soviet of the USSR in its Presidium, but in the very structure of the Supreme Soviet USSR, consisting of two chambers with equal rights: the Soviet Union represents the interests of all Soviet citizens regardless of their nationality and the Soviet of Nationalities, which reflects the specific interests of nations and groups ethnic groups in the USSR.
Elections to the Soviet Union carried out in districts with an equal number of inhabitants. If the Soviet of Nationalities is elected in the same way, would be major representatives of the Russian Federation (with a population amounting to 140 million) and Ukraine (50 million), and the republics with a relatively not very large population would have a minimal amount of deputies, that is, to a republic like Lithuania it would be virtually impossible to represent and articulate their interests. In order that these difficulties do not occur, the Soviet of Nationalities is chosen differently: it includes 32 Members of each of the independent republics of the number of people in their population. That's why the Soviet of Nationalities, Lithuania has the same number of deputies that the Russian Federation, despite the latter's population is over 40 times.
According to the Constitution of the USSR, both chambers of the Supreme Soviet in equal measure can play the legislature, any national law is considered adopted after approval by a majority vote of all the cameras, this happens when the law is of national or most of the republics. By the way, all the Soviets Justices of the Union Republics have the right to perform the legislature.
These examples do not exhaust the list of possibilities, by which Lithuania can carry out its powers at national or Republican. It should be noted that: the borders of the republics can not be altered without their consent, the Lithuanian deputies are part of all committees of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR, where advance analyze the most important laws and decrees of the country , the President of the Presidium of Supreme Soviet of the Lithuanian SSR is at the same time, vice president of the Presidium of Supreme Soviet of the USSR, the President of the Council of Ministers Republic, for his office, is part of the Government of the USSR. Numerous examples could be cited. The most important thing is that the powers and sovereignty of the Lithuanian SSR are backed by economic power, political and military of the Soviet Union. The peoples of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics to unite, on bases and equitable principles, pursuit of a common goal: to help mutely always and everywhere, defending the interests of the entire USSR as their own.
