Were the events of August of 1991 a coup d’état? | Beorn's Beehive
This was perhaps the most striking and dramatic event of the turbulent perestroika period. Top leaders of the state removed Mikhail #Gorbachev, the current president of the #USSR, from power and declared a state of emergency. Armoured personnel carriers on #Moscow’s pavements and barricades around the residence of the President and government of the #RSFSR, the White House, became symbols of the confrontation that took to the streets.
However, a few days later, the political fiesta ended with the unexpectedly rapid surrender of the Emergency Committee and crowded rallies, where supporters of the President of the RSFSR Boris #Yeltsin, who initially called the actions of the Emergency Committee a “right-wing reactionary unconstitutional coup”, noisily celebrated the victory. Three days of “great upheavals”, which effectively became a fleeting epilogue to the entire history of the Soviet Union.
