  • Description: On August 19, 1991, the day before Gorbachev and a group of republic leaders were due to sign the new union treaty, a group calling itself the State Emergency Committee (??????????????? ??????? ?? ????????????? ?????????, ????) attempted to seize power in Moscow. The group announced that Gorbachev was ill and had been relieved of his state post as president. Gorbachev was holidaying in the Crimea when the coup began and remained there under house arrest. Soviet Union Vice President Gennady Yanayev was named acting president. The committee's eight members included KGB chairman Vladimir Kryuchkov, Internal Affairs Minister Boris Pugo, Defense Minister Dmitriy Yazov, and Prime Minister Valentin Pavlov, all of whom had risen to their posts under Gorbachev.

    Vice President Gennady Yanayev took to the television and radio airwaves immediately after the announcement with other leaders of the coup and delivered a very sharp denunciation of the prior regime, but his weak posturing and shaky expressions during the speech immediately provoked the belief that he was not the man to deliver the public order desperately sought by others. Large public demonstrations against the coup leaders were already taking place in Moscow and Leningrad; divided loyalties in the defense and security establishments prevented the armed forces from mobilizing effectively and crushing the resistance.
