The  Union of Sovereign States ( Russian:  Сою́з Сувере́нных Госуда́рств [ССГ] Soyuz Suverennykh Gosudarstv [SSG] ) was the proposed name of a reorganization of the  Union of Soviet Socialist Republics into a new  Confederatory body. Proposed by  President of the Soviet Union,  Mikhail Gorbachev,''' the proposal was an attempt to avert the collapse of the Soviet Union. The proposal was never implemented''' in the wake of the  August Coup and the eventual  dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991. The overall proposal was resurrected as the  '''Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). '''

'''IT NEVER EXISTED! '''
