Maybe some parallels coming…

 

1993 Russian Constitutional Crisis

 

The Russian Constitutional Crisis of 1993 was a political stand-off between the Russian president Boris Yeltsin and the Russian parliament that was resolved by military force.

 

The relations between the president and the parliament had been deteriorating for some time. The power struggle reached its crisis on 21 September 1993, when President Yeltsin intended to dissolve the country's highest body (Congress of People's Deputies) and parliament (Supreme Soviet). In response, the parliament declared the president's decision null and void, impeached Yeltsin and proclaimed vice president Aleksandr Rutskoy to be acting president.

 

On 3 October, demonstrators removed police cordons around the parliament and, urged by their leaders, took over the Mayor's offices and tried to storm the Ostankino television centre.

 

The army, which had initially declared its neutrality, stormed the Supreme Soviet building in the early morning hours of 4 October by Yeltsin's order, and arrested the leaders of the resistance.

 

Date: 21 September – 4 October 1993 (1 week and 6 days)

Location: Moscow, Russia

Result: Victory of pro-Yeltsin forces:

  • Presidential rule by decree imposed

  • New constitution adopted

  • Supreme Soviet, Congress, regional and local Soviets disbanded

  • New parliamentary election held

-End of the Soviet system of government in Russia
