when was the coup? >> guest: the coup was in august of 1991. now, just to give you the chronology here, roald and i told the politburo that we were going to get married in september of 1989. this was literally just as eastern europe was trembling on the brink of collapse. the regimes were beginning to fall by the wayside. and of course, we weren't sure whether the soviet authorities were going to act against eastern europe or whether they were going to orchestrate a crackdown to keep the same thing from happening inside the soviet union. then we got married in february of 1990, and this hardening of the political situation in the soviet union took place throughout that period, from really the -- the fall of the berlin wall all the way up to that coup in august of 1991. many of the hard-liners felt that the -- the disintegration of the soviet union had gone too far. there were ethnic disturbances all over the soviet union, as we remember, in the baltics and in georgia and moldova and everywhere. and it was very clear that the regime was either g

and then the ultimate conspiracy the kind of coup that yeltsin and others carried out to destroy the soviet union as a state mark what do you think about that i mean the the loss of legitimacy because go ahead go ahead jump in. yeah i was going to say i don't agree with ron on that i think by by the time that by one nine hundred ninety i think events had already gained a momentum that they were pushing not only to the disintegration of the soviet union but also i think they were pushing towards the the breakup of the of the communist party so by nine hundred ninety it's true that the party had had legalized it had legalized opposition activity. of course it's still a centrally monopolized power in moscow although in various republics other movements had essentially or were about to come to power. but it in fact i think that. at that point in time the party was right on the edge of splitting into into pieces so there was this debate between the democratic platform which represented the reformist wing of the party and then there was the right wing of the party the conservatives and gor

the coup which then led to the olsen's rise and what was left of the communist party what became the new russian federation communist party was basically the right wing of the old party so they they are i'm some ways a kind of semi fascist party they are very nationalistic they're very authoritarian and they don't have much in common with the kind of european social democracy or i would say with the regional rather democratic radically democratic aims of karl marx and marshall do you think that. if it provocateur did glasnost and perestroika destroy the communist party of the soviet union. i'd have to say of the two glasnost destroyed the communist party of the soviet union the communist party of the soviet union was built as an instrument basically to control the state and to control the public sphere and once you open up the public sphere that the communist party really couldn't control it that the the debates that tore the communist party apart were essentially over the impact of glasnost now a lot of people talk about the economy and how the economy and economic competition destr

in terms of journalism, it was a coup.e more than i wanted to know about that man. >> and from what i heard, costas did not have a lot of time to prepare. i thought he did a good job under the circumstances. we have to take one more break. when we come back, regis philbin says good-bye to morning television. i'm phil mickelson, pro golfer. if you have painful, swollen joints, i've been in your shoes. one day i'm on p of the world... the next i'm saying... i have this thing called psoriatic arthritis. i had some intense pain. it progressively got worse. my rheumatologist told me about enbrel. i'm surprid how quickly my symoms have beemanaged.

some people were calling this not a revolution last night so much as a coup and it was probably both. there was a popular uprising and in the end the military enacted a coup with the promise of delivering democracy. now people have come out again because they don't believe the military will keep its promise and trying to put physical pressure on the generals to hand overpower to give it to a civilian government starting right now. >> richard, you've been covering egypt so closely. if you could briefly walk us through what's happened since february and we saw the mass celebrations in the street. i can still see the pictures of people firing in the air behind you. now, how did we get to this point? >> reporter: the firing in the air. you're confusing the revolution. that was tripoli. this one was mostly lots of shouting and screaming. >> forgive me. >> reporter: not a lot of firing in the air. people aren't so armed in cairo like they are in benghazi and tripoli. but what happened is after the revolution here in february, people came out and they were celebrating and there was days of s

continuing to push this bank rough discredited model of the color revolution the cia people power coup backed up by a terrorist troops people from al-qaeda people from the muslim brotherhood the military council in egypt has said it will speed up presidential elections but for protestors that's clearly not enough they haven't forgotten what their revolution was about even if it seems the international community hands are the bennetts party london. twenty eight people have reportedly been killed during a government raise in syria although in space of just one day it comes as the un's human rights committee condemned damascus first eight month crackdown on protesters in a vote backed by western nations and a number of arab states russia did abstain from voting and has been calling for a dialogue between the syrian opposition and president assad's regime but is more important as details from the new york. what this decision illustrates is an increasing amount of symbolic pressure against syria now having said that although this resolution was adopted and supported by one hundred twenty tw

is really to beef up the mast to make more productive on a more expensive so the set of merely full coups seen on the us the rest of europe so therefore i think the the initial object to it is really how china can work more closely was on maff. the. finance capacity of my math in the meantime to further justifiable position for china both in terms of the membership also the possible r. and b. as a denominating current state of bihar on the special drawing rights and then certain phones will be funneled to how the europe so that's a second tier of question of the moment particularly in the working man kind of ism between the i.m.f. european central bank and also the european financial stability facility so. now i think. this idea is very clear channel still wanted to express was through this meaning positive attitude and sincerity china will lend a hand but of course china will also have their own conditions to reciprocate themselves but you mentioned china has its own conditions and it obviously has its own issues to spend its own money on how can it convince its people that it is a good

coup and the russian leadership has just understood over the past few months that it was a p.r. coup if everything is interlinked what happened in libya what need to explaining for syria the nato planted done we need to really to rein in these what used to be some interceptors in czech republic they're now in romania twenty four interceptors in a huge a radar station in turkey the american version it's better record against the run which is completely absurd every jew political analyst knows this is directed at this russia and this is not your government ministries this is a pentagon program it's part of this so-called full spectrum dominance which is deficient better go on the doctrine since at least two thousand and two so all these should have a mechanism to discuss this as adults in the ne to russia council they're going to meet each weeks so let's see after two weeks if they really can discuss this because the russians are correct that they know this is a canister russian territory it would be the same as russia spelling missile defense system in cuba all over again below b

spring has turned very sour and this is looking more and more to the egyptian people like a military coup and one strung out military coup rather than any kind of real revolution so that seems to be the situation apparently seems to be a fantastic person if he can and he does have a total free hand to do what he wants there a way of defusing this situation because the parliamentary election campaigns are supposed to begin on monday and things are looking very good for that right now but odd things looking a little better now that we are seeing the military making concessions talking about obviously appointing a new prime minister talking about bringing forward a date to transfer power and of course we've just heard also are just really on the words a referendum on power as possible surely all of these are good indications are they not and should appease a protest. well they certainly are good indications but then we've had this before you can never be entirely sure what we've got is a kind of military oligarchical elite in egypt and of course there needs to be some elections soon but at t
