Coup of August 1991

[Robert De Lossa]

For those interested in the Coup of August 1991 on this its 10th
anniversary, HURI Publications has placed extracts from Kostiantyn
Morozov's book, "Above and Beyond: From Soviet General to Ukrainian
State Builder" on the web. The address is
http://www.huri.harvard.edu/morabo_coup.htm. For those not familiar
with him (or the events in Ukraine during the coup), Morozov was a
Soviet Air Force general in a critical position at the time. Soon
after the declaration of Ukraine's independence (24 August 1991), he
became the country's first minister of defense.

At the bottom of the extracts there is a link to the catalog
description of "Above and Beyond" for those who are interested in the
book. It is important reading for anyone interested in what happened
ten years ago in the soon-to-become-former Soviet Union.

Regards,

Robert De Lossa
