8 dic 1991 anni - COMMUNISM FALLS IN THE SOVIET UNION

Descrizione:

With the Eastern Bloc free of the Soviet Union, the Soviet
empire itself began to crumble. In April, Georgia voted to
secede from the USSR while Moscow eventually recognised
the independence of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia, its Baltic
republics. Following the failed coup attempt against leader
Mikhail Gorbachev in August, the Soviet Union began to fully
disintegrate. Within days of the coup’s demise, Ukraine
declared independence followed by the Soviet Union’s Central
Asian republics. On 8th December, the Soviet Union ceased
to exist.
