	The coup that failed: 10 years ago a plot to save the Soviet Union led to its dissolution
		As Russians mark the anniversary this week of the coup that failed -- and Russians mark every anniversary -- some will carry portraits of Lenin and Stalin on Red Square, longing for a time when a job, a home and a meal were guaranteed.
		The White House, Russia's parliament building, was shelled in a second coup attempt only two years after the first, and it now stands as a monument to the massive, corrupt and inept bureaucracy that rules Russia today.
		In Russian political circles, the former major general is not known as the smartest of men.

	Recent Events
		MOSCOW (AP) -- Russians looked back Sunday on the bungled hard-line coup exactly 10 years ago that fatally wounded the USSR, with some pining for the democratic passions that fired resistance to the coup plotters, others cursing the hardships that have accompanied freedom.
		Russian President Vladimir Putin stayed conspicuously silent on the anniversary, fueling critics' fears that a Soviet-style authoritarianism is encroaching under his rule.
		Yet most Russians -- including Gorbachev -- welcome Putin's efforts to restore order after the corrupt, tumultuous Yeltsin years, and are often willing to look the other way when his methods are less than democratic.

		Because the place was there, and by reading about the role of the Orthodox church in Russian history, we come upon exactly the same things that happened during the Communist regime.
		And the role of the Central Committee of the Communist Party was exactly corresponding to the role of the church in the kind of state Russia has become.
		To that we can add a geographical remark which is very funny as we go see the recent Russian history, because the Central Committee of the Communist Party, you know MoscowÑyou have been to MoscowÑis located in the old square special building which traditionally is linked to the Central Committee of the Communist Party.

	Russian Portraits by Robert Wallis - The Digital Journalist
		The first phase of the new Russian revolution came to an end in August 1991 as the old guard tried unsuccessfully to put a halt to the reforms by placing Gorbachev under house arrest.
		In the elections Russians were asked to choose between a return to the past under the Communist candidate- Zhuganov, or to continue the "reform" process under Yeltsin.
		Instead, I decided to photograph Russians from different backgrounds and ask them to give their own opinions on where their country was heading.
