    What was so illegal? Possibly the millions of USSR citizens taking the first flight or ride out of the Soviet bloc when it became available. Very illegal for the proletariat I’m sure.

      The majority of Soviet citizens wished to retain Socialism, a fact that continued after the dissolution. The people fleeing newly established Capitalism was due to dissolved safety nets. 7 million people died due to “Shock Therapy.”

        This is an outright lie, you might as well be saying Putin is a fairly elected leader too.

          Which part is a lie? Soviet Nostalgia is well-documented.

          Putin is a shithead, but he is popular within Russia. His opposition has not been able to beat him, though the Communist Party has some support as well.

            And you treat nostalgia as FACT? Sad, you were never there.

            The culture of the people that escaped have an antidote for that fallacy

      the coup where Yeltsin ordered the military to fire upon parliament with tanks and instituted a rule-by-decree system to dissolve the government

      https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1993_Russian_constitutional_crisis

      seems pretty illegal to me

        Not an event from the year 1991 though, so still nothing to do with the fall of the Soviet Union.
