The Russian Federation succeeded to the Soviet Union's seat,including its permanent membership on the Security Council in the United Nations after the 1991 dissolution of the Soviet Union,which originally co-founded the UN in 1945. The succession was supported by the USSR's former members and was not objected to by the UN membership;Russia accounted for more than 75% of the Soviet Union's economy,the majority of its population and 75% of its land mass;in addition,the history of the Soviet Union began in Russia with the October Revolution in 1917 in Petrograd. If there was to be a successor to the Soviet seat on the Security Council among the former Soviet republics,these factors made Russia seem a logical choice. Nonetheless,due to the rather inflexible wording of the UN Charter and its lack of provision for succession,the succession's technical legality has been questioned by some international lawyers.
