It has been 33 years since Mikhail Gorbachev was removed from power, a state of emergency was declared, and a new ruling body, the State Emergency Committee, was formed. The August putsch was the final point in the existence of the Soviet Union. Just a few people determined the future of the former republics, and now countries. But who were these people?
