‘There was a chain of people who were ready for anything. They’d rather have been crushed by the tanks than flee.’
On August 18, 1991, the conspirators of the State Emergency Committee decided to remove Mikhail Gorbachev from the leadership of the country. He was blocked at his residence in the Crimean village of Foros, while means of communications were disabled.
Vice President of the USSR Gennady Yanaev signed a decree granting himself presidential powers. The next morning the news was announced on radio and television, and tanks suddenly appeared on the streets of Moscow. Boris Yeltsin and thousands of his supporters ascended on the White house.
How did events develop further? And what preceded them? Watch the film USSR Collapse: A Crash Course to find out. RT Documentary filmed a documentary for the 30th anniversary of the August coup.

Распад СССР: ускоренный курс
«Там была цепочка людей, готовых на все. Они скорее будут раздавлены танками, чем сбегут».
18 августа 1991 года заговорщики ГКЧП приняли решение отстранить Михаила Горбачева от руководства страной. Его заблокировали в его доме в крымском поселке Форос, при этом были отключены средства связи.
Вице-президент СССР Геннадий Янаев подписал указ о наделении себя президентскими полномочиями. На следующее утро новость была объявлена по радио и телевидению, и на улицах Москвы внезапно появились танки. Борис Ельцин и тысячи его сторонников взошли на Белый дом.
Как дальше развивались события? А что им предшествовало? Посмотрите фильм «Распад СССР: Ускоренный курс», чтобы узнать. Документальный RT снял документальный фильм к 30-летию августовского путча.
