Question: Where did the leader, who claimed that the republic that was coming to an end had become an imperialist power, declare that he would intervene in the Korean conflict?

<P0-S0> On December 8, the leaders of Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus secretly met in Belavezhskaya Pushcha, in western Belarus, and signed the Belavezha Accords, which proclaimed the Soviet Union had ceased to exist and announced formation of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) as a looser association to take its place. <P0-S1> They also invited other republics to join the CIS. <P0-S2> Gorbachev called it an unconstitutional coup. <P0-S3> However, by this time there was no longer any reasonable doubt that, as the preamble of the Accords put it, "the USSR, as a subject of international law and a geopolitical reality, is ceasing its existence." <SEP> <P1-S0> Trotsky, and others, believed that the revolution could only succeed in Russia as part of a world revolution. <P1-S1> Lenin wrote extensively on the matter and famously declared that Imperialism was the highest stage of capitalism. <P1-S2> However, after Lenin's death, Joseph Stalin established 'socialism in one country' for the Soviet Union, creating the model for subsequent inward looking Stalinist states and purging the early Internationalist elements. <P1-S3> The internationalist tendencies of the early revolution would be abandoned until they returned in the framework of a client state in competition with the Americans during the Cold War. <P1-S4> With the beginning of the new era, the after Stalin period called the "thaw", in the late 1950s, the new political leader Nikita Khrushchev put even more pressure on the Soviet-American relations starting a new wave of anti-imperialist propaganda. <P1-S5> In his speech on the UN conference in 1960, he announced the continuation of the war on imperialism, stating that soon the people of different countries will come together and overthrow their imperialist leaders. <P1-S6> Although the Soviet Union declared itself anti-imperialist, critics argue that it exhibited tendencies common to historic empires. <P1-S7> Some scholars hold that the Soviet Union was a hybrid entity containing elements common to both multinational empires and nation states. <P1-S8> It has also been argued that the USSR practiced colonialism as did other imperial powers and was carrying on the old Russian tradition of expansion and control. <P1-S9> Moreover, the ideas of imperialism were widely spread in action on the higher levels of government. <P1-S10> Non Russian Marxists within the Russian Federation and later the USSR, like Sultan Galiev and Vasyl Shakhrai, considered the Soviet Regime a renewed version of the Russian imperialism and colonialism. <P1-S11> Mao Zedong once argued that the Soviet Union had itself become an imperialist power while maintaining a socialist façade. <SEP> <P2-S0> eisenhower responded to the french defeat with the formation of the seato (southeast asia treaty organization) alliance with the u.k., france, new zealand and australia in defense of vietnam against communism. <P2-S1> at that time the french and chinese reconvened geneva peace talks; eisenhower agreed the u.s. would participate only as an observer. <P2-S2> after france and the communists agreed to a partition of vietnam, eisenhower rejected the agreement, offering military and economic aid to southern vietnam. <P2-S3> ambrose argues that eisenhower, by not participating in the geneva agreement, had kept the u.s out of vietnam; nevertheless, with the formation of seato, he had in the end put the u.s. back into the conflict. <SEP> <P3-S0> during august 1914, immediately after the outbreak of the war, british author and social commentator h.g. <P3-S1> wells published a number of articles in london newspapers that subsequently appeared as a book entitled the war that will end war. <P3-S2> wells blamed the central powers for the coming of the war and argued that only the defeat of german militarism could bring about an end to war. <P3-S3> wells used the shorter form of the phrase, ``the war to end war '', in in the fourth year (1918), in which he noted that the phrase had`` got into circulation'' in the second half of 1914. in fact, it had become one of the most common catchphrases of the first world war. <SEP> <P4-S0> On 27 June 1950, two days after the KPA invaded and three months before the Chinese entered the war, President Truman dispatched the United States Seventh Fleet to the Taiwan Strait, to prevent hostilities between the Nationalist Republic of China (Taiwan) and the People's Republic of China (PRC). <P4-S1> On 4 August 1950, with the PRC invasion of Taiwan aborted, Mao Zedong reported to the Politburo that he would intervene in Korea when the People's Liberation Army's (PLA) Taiwan invasion force was reorganized into the PLA North East Frontier Force. <P4-S2> China justified its entry into the war as a response to "American aggression in the guise of the UN".
