>Then where's the evidence to prove this?

The behavior of every nation in the UN over the last 30 years which has accepted them as such on the Security Council?

There's a difference between acceptance and formal admittance.

No there isn't, the UN has recognized their Security Council votes as legitimate for 30 years, so there is no argument.

While certainly there are some institutions where an error allowed to persist for a specified duration becomes irreversible, I see no argument that there is such a rule applicable to the UN issue at hand.

The argument is clear, if any country on the Security Council thought Russia to not be the legitimate successor to the USSR on the Security Council then they would have raised the issue. Not only was it accepted then, its' been accepted for 30 years.

Only now do you have some idiots on social media trying to start WW3 by suggesting they be removed.
