Two interesting dates in world history

On this day, December 26, 1991 the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union met and formally dissolved the Soviet Union.

On the same day, this time in 2004, the final run-off election in Ukraine was held. The election was carefully observed by international monitoring teams.

History plays tricks with all of us.
