YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

During the summer of 1991, Soviet Communist hardliners tried to seize control of the country from Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev.

Now the summer of 2023 – an attempted mutiny against Russian President Vladimir Putin. With that backdrop – the latest episode of C-SPAN's podcast "The Weekly" goes back and remembers the 1991 coup attempt in the Soviet Union – and we do it through the words of then-American President George H. W. Bush .

Like Day One of the attempted coup, August 19, 1991. President Bush: " I've said over and over again that we did not want to see a coup backed by the KGB and the military, and apparently that is what is underway I think it's also important to note that coups can fail. They can take over at first, and then they run up against the will of the people."

What happened next? And what did President Bush say in response?
