the summit of alma-ata also issued a statement on december 21, 1991 supporting russia's claim to be recognized as the successor state of the soviet union for the purposes of membership of the united nations. on december 25, 1991, russian president yeltsin informed un secretary-general javier pérez de cuéllar that the soviet union had been dissolved and that russia would, as its successor state, continue the soviet union's membership in the united nations. the document confirmed the credentials of the representatives of the soviet union as representatives of russia, and requested that the name "soviet union" be changed to "russian federation" in all records and entries. this was a move designed to allow russia to retain the soviet union's permanent security council seat, which would not have been possible if the former republics were all reckoned as equal successors of the soviet union, or if the soviet union was regarded as having no successor state for the purpose of continuing the same un membership (see russia and the united nations). the secretary general circulated the request, and there being no objection from any member state, the russian federation took the soviet union's un seat. on january 31, 1992, russian federation president yeltsin personally took part in a security council meeting as representative of russia, the first security council meeting in which russia occupied the permanent security council seat originally granted to the soviet union by the un charter.
