In this post will not be pictures of events in August 1991, as the subject is worthy of a separate post. Today, the simple life of Moscow in 1991. Muscovites stand in queues, go to meetings, and to rebuild the temple.
USSR living out their last days, in fact no longer a socialist country: legalized private ownership, cooperative business begins to take form a Western-style, at the same time begin to close state-owned enterprises, factories, mills, farms, pioneer camps. There are such social phenomena as mass poverty and unemployment. Pricing is still centralized, but in early 1991 conducted two reforms of the financial sector - the monetary and price, because of which the great mass of the population below the poverty line. "New thinking" in the international arena is reduced to one-sided concessions to the West, resulting in the USSR loses many of its position and in fact ceases to be a superpower, a few years ago controlled half of the world. In the RSFSR and the other republics of the Union came to power separatist forces - begins the "parade of sovereignties».
Hundreds of thousands of people crammed the entire area ... March 10, 1991 there was the biggest anti-government rally in the history of the Soviet regime: hundreds of thousands of people demanded the resignation of Gorbachev.
