Interesting yeltsin
On August 19, 1991, Boris Yeltsin, president of the Russian republic, learned that communist hard-liners had seized control of the Soviet government from President Mikhail Gorbachev. Yeltsin immediately left his dacha and headed for Moscow. He arrived at the parliament building at around 10 a.m. and began formulating a response to the coup attempt. Shortly after noon, after Soviet military forces directed by the coup leaders had taken up key positions in the capital, Yeltsin walked out of the parliament building, climbed up on a tank, and delivered the following remarks, denouncing the coup and calling for a general strike.

Former Russian President Boris Yeltsin died Monday at age 76.
The first freely elected president of Russia, Yeltsin was widely admired for his valor in opposing a 1991 hard-line coup attempt, scrambling atop a tank to rally democratic opposition.
Boris Tesyolkin, the commander of that tank, talked to CBS News about Yeltsin's life, career and impact on Russia.
From those three days in August 1991, I remembered most clearly how Yeltsin climbed on top of our tank and shook hands with every single member of our tank crew. I remember those moments very clearly. Everything else may be blurred, but I remember that handshake as if it has just happened and my hand is still warm from holding his.
Maybe I could not realize everything back when it was happening, but today I know I was right in the midst of the most dramatic and pivoting events in Russia's contemporary history – and it was Boris Yeltsin who held my hand and took me there.

It was definitely the bankers who set it all in motion. The bankers ALMOST had their finest moment. They almost got a civil war in Russia. They almost got Russians to kill other Russians. They almost got their hands on $ 75 trillion of natural resources. They almost advanced the plan of the grand chessboard to grab control of a huge part of Eurasia. They tried to blackmail Yeltsin. Yeltsin was a famous drunk. But, he was a patriotic drunk.
The bankers are once again plotting and dreaming of reasserting control over Russia. The Russians have figured out that they need a REALLY smart leader and, not a drunk.
BTW, the bankers loaned Churchill FAR more money than he could repay. He could NEVER manage his money
