The Collapse of Soviet Empire. (1)

A collection of TV news recorded in NYC in August, 1991.

An unsuccessful military coup that attempted to remove Gorbachev from power instead led to the collapse of the Soviet Union. Boris Yeltsin came to power and declared the end of exclusive Communist rule. The USSR splintered into fifteen independent republics, and was officially dissolved.

Nikolai Lenin? Not to be douchy, but why wasn't it Vladimir? 

[RGAF1987]

Who on earth is Nicolai Lenin? 1:08? Twin to Vladimir Lenin?

[RGAF1987]

@skating1611 I remember about Ulynov, I just didn't know about Nikolai. Thank you for enlightening me.

American Empire is far worse. Stop imperialism!

[skating1611]

@RGAF1987 No, same person. Nikolai Lenin was his pseudonym, Lenin was not his true last name. His real name was Vladimir nikolayevich Ulynov.

its too surreal seing the "USSR" label on russia when showing a map...or the fact that people were probably cheering like when osama bin laden got killed back in 91 when the communists lost lol

Who killed over 40 millions of its own people =( if the commies wouldn't take the power, Russia would be like a western country today =( still the communism is living in the shadow of/in Russia =( power to the people, power to the freedom =) Death to commies fuckers!
