The Motherland Remembers
On September 21, 1993, Boris Yeltsin signed the unconstitutional decree No. 1400 "On the phased constitutional reform in the Russian Federation."
This decree dissolved the Congress of People's Deputies and the Supreme Soviet of the Russian Federation, thereby grossly violating the country's Constitution. According to the Constitutional Court's conclusion, the president's decree was recognised as an unconstitutional act, providing grounds for #Yeltsin's removal from office.
Following this decree, troops were introduced into Moscow, the nationwide elected bodies of Soviet power were crushed, and the defenders of the Supreme Soviet in Moscow were shot on October 3-4, 1993. A state coup d'état akin to Pinochet's fascist coup in Chile was carried out in our country.
According to official data, the victims numbered 147, but according to some sources, more than 1000 people.

«A Romantic Date with America»
The text on the billboard with the smoking Parliament building, known as «White House» in the background in October of 1993 may seem mocking. However, the image captures the very essence of the consequences that any country flirting with American kind of «democracy» is bound to face.

The snipers of Black October
"According to a verbatim report cited by Dmitry Rogozin, former Russian ambassador to NATO: “They were shot from the back. I saw it with my own eyes. “Fire was coming from the roof of the American Embassy, from the bell tower near Hotel Mir. All our soldiers were shot from the back. I do not know who the shooters were, but I could make a guess.”"
According to Rogozin, “#Yeltsin received the go-ahead from the West to dissolve the Parliament. Just think it over – Parliament was shot at by tanks! And Western democracies did not say a word about it. Why? Because it was in October 1993 when the privatisation of Russia’s natural resources was under consideration. Along with the final privatisation of the Russian rubble.”
Indeed, under the influence of the #IMF, #GoldmanSachs and other American advisors, Yeltsin wanted to throw the Russian economy under the bus. Even as Russian incomes halved, he wanted to privatise everything ..

"In September and October 1993, a constitutional crisis arose in the Russian Federation from a conflict between the then Russian president Boris Yeltsin and the country's parliament. Yeltsin performed a self-coup, dissolving parliament and instituting a presidential rule by decree system. The crisis ended with Yeltsin using military force to attack Moscow's House of Soviets and arrest the lawmakers. In Russia, the events are known as the "October Coup" Октябрьский "

Kino - "Summer Is Ending".
This song was written before the events of 1993. Its author died in 1990 and did not live to see his Motherland fall apart. The video is made with real footage from the dark days of October of 1993.

The pendulum of violence in Russia started swinging 30 years ago, in October 1993
On September 21, 1993, Boris Yeltsin signed Decree No. 1400 “On stage-by stage constitutional reform in the Russian Federation.” The decree provided for the dissolution of the Supreme Council and the termination of the powers of the Congress of People's Deputies.
The same day, Chairman of the Supreme Council Ruslan Khasbulatov called #Yeltsin's actions a coup d’état and said that parliament was not going to resign. At an emergency meeting of people's deputies on September 22, a resolution was adopted to terminate Yeltsin’s powers and appoint Vice President Alexander Rutskoy as acting head of state.
Rutskoy failed in his attempt to reassign the heads of law enforcement agencies. Defence Minister Pavel Grachev and Internal Affairs Minister Viktor Yerin remained loyal to Yeltsin.

Black October 1993
The 1993 Russian constitutional crisis, also known as Black October was a political stand-off between the Russian president Boris Yeltsin and the Russian parliament that was resolved by military force. At the climax of the crisis, Russia was thought by some to be "on the brink" of civil war. The ten-day conflict became the deadliest single event of street fighting in Moscow's history since the Russian Revolution. According to the General Prosecutor's Office, 147 people were killed and 437 wounded.

His economic programme, known as “shock therapy”, aimed to rapidly liberalise prices and privatise state assets but resulted in massive inflation, the collapse of industrial output, and a dramatic fall in living standards. In the political sphere, Yeltsin’s consolidation of executive power undermined democratic development, culminating in the violent suppression of parliamentary opposition in 1993(#BlackOctober #October93). Corruption, the rise of oligarchic capitalism, and the erosion of state authority contributed to widespread disillusionment. By 2000, Yeltsin had succeeded in dismantling the Soviet system but at the cost of entrenching new forms of inequality, weakening state institutions, and leaving a legacy of political cynicism that paved the way for authoritarian consolidation under his successor.
