To put this in modern context: Imagine congress impeached Trump and he reacted by dissolving Congress and sending tanks to shoot at the Capitol.
I love how the teens in the front are just casually hanging around like “naaah, it is fine”
May it burn forever.
It’s still the reason why Forsyth – alongside several other authors – so loves to use Tamanskaya in scenes of fictitious civil conflicts in Moscow. “Icon” is probably the best example (and not a bad book, either – aside from, spoiler, Forsyth’s hilariously clueless Imperial British idea of England saving Russia by having all Russians happily accept and embrace an English prince as Russia’s new tsar).
Some historical context?
Did Boris Yelstin attacked building himself?
I feel like the title is a little misleading.
Boris Yeltsin, do it again
People in Russia still dress like depicted here lol
