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.

  • The Workers of the World party had a protest???

    At least I now know knuckleheads were common back then too.

  • Fuck the Workers World Party

    (I was reluctant to even capitalise their name.)

  • @tymuras great said man =) tho there is still millions of idiots who want it back =( just look at china, they are still killing millions of their own every year =(

  • @68kaspar USSR was like a torture chamber!!!

  • The Workers World Party was right, capitalism came back and installed a capitalist dictatorship. But the Workers World Party was Stalinist and supported the bureaucracy who ruled the USSR since 1924. Stalinism died but not communism. Unfortunately Boris Yeltsin would not bring power to the Soviet people, he gave power to capitalism.

    Stalinism is death, Capitalism failed, long live Marxism.

  • @68kaspar yeah, totally agree with you. If you leave the country - you are moron and traitor. If you don't work - you parasite. No religion, no international, no freedom... Only big queues to shops and it leads to starve, absolutely stupid and strict laws and other shit...

  • @jopeon oh,then china's not a communist state? if it does,then i'm happy i don't like mao zedong or the leader of north korea

  • @soccerruben1 i agree for north korea and there is signs that it is slowly happening but my friend china has not been communist for a while it's a state capatalist country now ever changing into a more free place, just give it time.

  • DOWN WI|TH COMMUNISM

    DOWN WITH COMMUNISM

    COMMUNISM IS LIKE A BIG PRISON, CHINA AND NORTH KOREA ARE INFLUENCED BY U.S.S.R,THEY NEED TO DO THE SAME THING: THEY NEED TO ABANDON COMMUNISM 4-EVER!!!

  • Socilism isnt a bad idea, its just that it should not be abused by extremist leaders.
