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.

  • "Capitalism is the unequal distribution of blessings, Socialism is the equal distribution of misery."

    -- Winston Churchill

  • As we've found, communism only erupts in societies under extreme circumstances, and doesn't ever work. Although capitalism has its many problems, it's still the best economic system in the world that we know now. All you communists are just going to have to accept that. The only reasonable argument you may have is about China, with its high gross demestic product rate, but politically, look at the government corruption there, and look at its poor human rights record.

  • @AtCw593 very true, i just have a problem with the neoliberalism of today's "Washington Consensus." just because capitalism is the best option doesn't mean that it can't be improved

  • @RussianPower1974 Oh and you would want to live with no freedom of speech and no freedom of the press?

  • @RussianPower1974 then how do you explain all the russian billionaires now

  • To all the people that support anti-America and communism, I guess you've never been to country with dictatorship. Let me ask you this:

    -What Gadaffi doing to his own people (killing and bombing them), do you find them acceptable

    -Is jailing and torturing people who speak out against communist goverment in China acceptable (Liu Xiabo, anyone?)?

    Answer these question.

  • Yeltsin still sucked after Soviet Union collapsed the crisis in country still existed after Puttin camed to the power country got better in financials.
