	August Coup - Encyclopedia.com
		August Coup attempted coup (Aug. 18-22, 1991) against Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev.
		The August Coup resulted in a minimal loss of life (3 deaths in Moscow and 3 in the Baltic States), the end of the CPSU's dominance, and hastened the disintegration of the Soviet Union.
		The winter of discontent As the euphoria that followed the failed August Coup fades, even newly politicized Soviets are overwhelmed by yet another round of sacrifices required by the dismantling of communism

	The August Coup
		In 1917 these were the Red Guards mobilized by the Bolsheviks; in 1991, it was Boris Eltsin, President of the Russian Federation, whose demonstrative resistance to the coup enhanced his popular support.
		The coup of August 1991 was timed to prevent the signing of the new Union Treaty which would have fundamentally recast the relationship between the center and the republics in favor of the latter, and was scheduled for August 20.
		On August 18, a group of five military and state officials arrived at Gorbachev's presidential holiday home at Foros on the Crimean coast to attempt to persuade him to endorse a declaration of a state of emergency.

	THE IRANIAN: History, Tudeh & 1953 coup, Maziar Behrooz
		THE TUDEH ON THE EVE OF THE COUP
		It is clear that the Tudeh passed its intelligence on the pending coup to the prime-minister on August 15, 1953.
		These letters, four in all and undated, were written after the coup and depict the state of internal situation of the party in 1953-1954 and the relationship between the executive committee members and represented a request for mediation by the leadership abroad.

	Gorbachev & the Coup: An Exchange - The New York Review of Books
		Too many writers on the August 1991 coup in the Soviet Union are unable to distinguish the wood from the trees.
		Knight also tells us that the coup failed because the putschists "had no alternative plan for instituting the state of emergency without [Gorbachev]." But it was Gorbachev himself who ensured that the venture would be a fiasco by refusing to cooperate with Baklanov, Boldin, Varennikov, and company when they arrived at Foros on August 18.
		The written evidence as well as my own interviews with key coup plotters and prosecutors suggest that, while Gorbachev did not carefully orchestrate events from Foros, he was hedging his bets and may well have hoped to resume power sometime after August 19 had the coup succeeded.

	The August Coup
		On August 18, 1991, a group of these communist hard-liners attempted a coup against Gorbachev.
		Since the army was composed of these Russian citizens, they refused to attack the reformers, led by Boris Yeltsin, and the coup failed.
		The August Coup was an obvious turning point in world history; it ended the communist powerhouse formerly known as the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.

	6 The august 1991 coup attempt and the transition to independence
		On 27 August, the Declaration of Independence and the secession of Moldova from the USSR was adopted by the Parliament.
		The same period between August 1991 and December 1991 was marked by a new crisis in inter-ethnic conflict between the Moldovan majority and the Russophones of left-bank Moldova.
		On 1 September, the Russophone population of Trans-Dniester began a railway blockade of Moldova demanding the release of the arrested leaders and threatening to interrupt electricity and gas supplies to right-bank Moldova, populated predominantly by Moldovan's.

	Global Voices Online » Former Soviet Union: 15 Years Since the August Coup
		This year, on August 20 and 21, memorial services will be held in Moscow for Dmitry Komar, Ilya Krichevsky and Vladimir Usov, the three men who were crushed to death by tanks during street confrontations.
		On August 22, which is Russia's State Flag Day, there'll be a rally near the government building in Moscow, known as the White House.
		And, unfortunately, there is a possibility that one day, in the new maelstrom of political craziness, we'll bump into the decisive, khaki-colored boys who were recently giving us trophy cigarettes near the White House - only suddenly they'll be at the other side of the barricades.

	Okno Group - E/W Letter article - In the Wake of the August Coup
		The attempted hard-line coup against the Gorbachev government seemed to jeopardize all the accomplish merits of the previous six years in politics and economics.
		The failure of the coup not only gave hope to the Soviet people and people around the world, but it leaves us lessons to which observers interested in the Soviet Union might pay heed.
		Contrary to the expectations of many observers, and apparently of the coup leaders themselves, the Soviet people were not cowed into submission by decrees, curfews, and tanks in the streets.

		On August 19, 1991, one day before Gorbachev and a group of republic leaders were due to sign the union treaty, a group calling itself the State Emergency Committee attempted to seize power in Moscow.
		Large public demonstrations against the coup leaders took place in Moscow and Leningrad, and divided loyalties in the defense and security establishments prevented the armed forces from crushing the resistance that Yeltsin led from Russia's parliament building.
		On December 8, Yeltsin and the leaders of Belarus (which adopted that name in August 1991) and Ukraine met at Minsk, the capital of Belarus, where they created the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS--see Glossary) and annulled the 1922 union treaty that had established the Soviet Union.
