Grigory Yavlinsky on the Russian failed coup d’etat of 1991, Kremlin manipulators and Belarus’ Alexander Lukashenko
Grigory Yavlinsky’s web-site, 21.08.2020
29 years ago, a group of gray, but high-ranking Soviet officials tried to turn history back and return a huge country to the same gray past as they were. But hundreds of thousands of people across the country took to the streets to defend their future. Then, in August 1991, people had been openly demanding for several years already freedom and democracy, cessation of state lies, elimination of the command-administrative system, censorship and lawlessness… And the members of the State Emergency Committee [which attempted the coup] did not understand at all what was happening in the country, they lived as if in another world, they did not know what people wanted, what they hoped for, what they were striving for. This is generally typical of those who have been sitting at the top of power for decades. The State Emergency Committee did not believe that the absolute majority of the country’s citizens would be against them. Therefore, the coup – despite the fact that it was organised by the Chairman of the KGB, the Minister of Defence, and the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs – failed in just a couple of days, smashed to smithereens.
