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 fall of Marxism...

    Europe's best moment ever!!

  • Judging from interrogation video of the coup leaders, they weren't very enthusiastic about the venture in the first place. No one wanted to be the first to sign the decree.

  • USSR was a State Capitalist country. That is why it went bankrupt, just as "Russia" will go bankrupt again. Just like USA and the entire global capitalist cabal is going bankrupt.

    "Don't judge a book by its cover". The only true "socialism/communism" will come about when private ownership of any kind is abolished (i.e., money, corporations, banks, and especially governments), and common ownership is restored (what humankind had in most of its history before being forced to settle).

  • @Armenianemperor lol, nice

  • @brohan914 Go to hell Fucking American pig the USSR is better than anything u

  • @Armenianemperor youtube access+annonymity+ignorance= this guy

  • Gorbachov is a pussy i hope one day he will regret making people angry and for collapsing the USSR he i will never forgive him and for u America u suck balls Obama is also a niger ok

  • Today's the 20th anniversary of the coup

  • @vi2kaz I agree, USSR should still exist, USA was much better then, who cares about Soviet freedom.

  • If the coup succeeded, the movie Air Force One would have had no basis for its plot, unless they wanted to go into alternate history. The coup was, indisputably, the beginning of the end of the USSR.

  • Every criminal empire gets its just desserts, the Red one needs to be abolished the same way they seized control; through terror and bloodshed. May the memory of the Red Empire serve to frighten future tyrants.
