Publishing Date: 1995-01-01
Features: From August 1991 to October 1993, the world witnessed a series of far-reaching events—the failure of the August coup in the Soviet Union, leading to the collapse of an empire, the end of the Cold War, and the independence of a new nation, Russia. However, Russia's path was not smooth, marked by ongoing conflicts between the president and the Communist-dominated parliament, culminating in armed clashes. Boris Yeltsin was undoubtedly at the center of the whirlwind during these changes. In this book, he writes as a participant, recording the events and his personal reflections in the form of notes during those days and nights. This is a true history, as well as the inner journey of the person involved. The book was internally published by Dongfang Publishing House.
