Australia:PG

Former communist hardliners have challenged the democratically elected people in former Soviet republics by stating that democracy has not worked. For the most part, their statements are having little effect.

On August 18th, 1991, the hardliners detained Gorbachev at his vacation home on the Black Sea. They did not want him as the president of the Soviet Union, and demanded his resignation. On August 2oth, the hardliners ordered troops to attack the parliament building, which they refused, which turned the tides, and Gorbachev returned to Moscow.

The ultimate outcome was the accelerated breakup of the Soviet Union and rise of Boris Yeltsin to popularity and power.

Yes, there are still some hardliners in both the eastern and the western part, who say living in their part was better when the wall was standing.

But it's not the majority opinion.

The local joke is that it ends by tradition on the Fourth of July (they also insist that the tradition is rarely broken. Some hardliners insist that it begins on the fifth of July).
