A defiant Russian President Boris Yeltsin (L) clenches a fist to his supporters from the Russian Federation building 19 August 1991 in Moscow calling on them for a general strike and to resist the pro-communist coup against Soviet President Gorbachev. Hardline Communists toppled President Gorbvachev in the morning of 19 August saying that they had taken power because Gorbachev, who had been in office for six and a half years, was "unwell". The collapse of the coup was signaled in the afternoon of 21 August when the defense ministry ordered all troops to withdraw from Moscow. / AFP PHOTO / AFP FILES / DIMA TANIN
