When the USSR collapsed, the sitting USSR ambassador sent a letter to the UN Secretary General, requesting that the permanent membership status be transferred to the new Russian Federation. The UN membership did not object, and permanent status was approved.
What would have been the international implications if this request was denied? In other words the Russian Federation would be treated as any other new nation applying for "regular" UN membership, and loosing its security council veto.
