A picture taken on August 23, 1991 shows Russian President Boris Yeltsin (R) gesturing towards Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev in Moscow while he enjoins him to read a paper during a session of the Russian Parlement. Gorbachev returned to Moscow on August 22, 1991 after the coup had failed. Russia marks on August 19-22, 2011, the 20th anniversary of the abortive 1991 coup against then Soviet president Mikhail Gorbachev. Tanks rolled through Moscow towards the Russian White House, where Boris Yeltsin, leader of the Soviet-era Russian republic at the time, gathered his supporters after denouncing the coup from the roof of a tank, which resulted later in the collapse of the Soviet empire.
