Transcarpathian general regional referendum, 1991 — took place on December 1, 1991, on the same day as the Ukrainian independence referendum and the first presidential elections in Ukraine. The question of the referendum was "On the granting Transcarpathian region status of an autonomous province within Ukraine" (1 ). Before becoming a part of the Soviet Union on January 30, 1946, Subcarpathian Rus (the historical name of the region) was a republic, with an autonomous status within Czechoslovakia, in accordance with the Constitutional Act 326 \ 1938 of November 22, 1938 (2 )(3 ). ==Rationale for the regional referendum to be held simultaneously with the Republican referendum== The legislation of the USSR on the procedure of secession of a Soviet Republic from the Union With regard to the legal sociological dispute, continuing around the results of the referendum of December 1, 1991, it should be noted that it was held at a time when factually and legally existed the state of USSR, and its legal framework remained in force. Therefore, strictly legally, decisions and actions within the existing at the time legal field can be regarded as legitimate. This fact implies that the secession of any republic from the USSR had to be carried out only in accordance with the Law of the USSR of April 3, 1990 - ("On the procedure of secession of a Soviet Republic from the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics." ) The article №3 of the Act states that: " In the Federal Republic, on the territory of which there are places of compact residence of national groups that make up the majority of the population of the area, when determining the outcome of the referendum, the results of voting in these localities are accounted for separately." Part 7 of Article 17 of the Act also stipulates that in the event of secession of the republic from the USSR, there should be agreed status of the territories that do not belong to the seceding republic at the time of its accession to the Soviet Union. It is well known that the process of Ukraine's accession to the Soviet Union began on December 30, 1922, and finalized in May 1925, when the IX All-Ukrainian Congress of Soviets adopted a new text of the Constitution of the USSR, and on that date the Republic Subcarpathian Rus was part of the first Czechoslovak Republic. Subcarpathian Rus became part of the Soviet Union from the date of exchange of instruments of ratification of the Treaty from June 29, 1945 "On Transcarpathian Ukraine"(4 ). The interim, unelected National Assembly, appointed by decree of the President of the Czechoslovakia Eduard Benes, illegitimate at that time and not subsequently elected to that office by constitutional means (who on October 5, 1938, voluntarily, without any coercion, perfectly legally resigned as President), ratified the Treaty on November 22, 1945, and, accordingly, the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR ratified it by its Decree on November 27, 1945. Consequently, in accordance with Part 7 of Art. 17 of the Law of the USSR "On the procedure of secession ..." of April 3, 1990, Ukraine has been obliged to include in the ballot of the referendum of December 1, 1991, on the territory of Subcarpathian Rus, second question about the choice of the state affiliation of population of "the territory of the Rusyns to the south of the Carpathians"(5 ). (All this applies equally to the Western Ukraine (see Law of the USSR "On the inclusion of the Western Ukraine into the USSR ..." from November 1, 1939 (today Volyn, Drogobych, Lviv, Rivne, Ivano-Frankivsk and Ternopil region, and respectively Bukovina (Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR of August 2, 1940) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Transcarpathian general regional referendum, 1991」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
