The <entity_1> was held in the <entity_0> on <entity_4>. The <entity_5> was held roughly three months after Russians voted in favor of establishing <entity_2> and holding direct elections in <entity_3> held in March that year. He ultimately succeeded in having <entity_6> hold <entity_3> on 14 March 1991 on whether <entity_6> should create offices of President and Vice President and hold elections to fill them. While still failing to set an official date for the <entity_5>, the Congress of People's Deputies provisionally scheduled the <entity_5> for <entity_4>. The <entity_5> would jointly elect individuals to serve five-year terms as president and Vice President of the <entity_0>. Preliminary legislation outlining the rules of the <entity_5> was passed on 24 April by the Supreme Soviet of <entity_6>. Those urging the postponement of the elections argued that the time before the scheduled <entity_4> <entity_5> day provided too brief of a period for nominating candidates and campaigning. In response to these calls, <entity_5> commission chairman Vasilii Kazakov argued that the law stipulated that the <entity_5> would be held on <entity_4> and that the proposed postponement of the <entity_5> would only serve to "keep <entity_6> seething" for another three months. While widely celebrated both in <entity_6> and abroad as a breakthrough in Soviet/Russian democratization, the <entity_5> was not entirely free and fair.
