Once again,
there seems to be a belief
that American troops
are grown
in vats somewhere, or are all
pre-programmed Terminators. It is not
wise to
assume that the American military will blindly and fully follow a
program of governemt
oppression. In China, during
TSquare, and even now
in the
Soviet Union, there is some question as to the loyalty
of many of
the military units
involved-- and those are governments
with MUCH more control over their ranks than America.
No, the
government here
would not
have the
full cooperation of us
servicemembers. We believe in the Constitution, and many of
us own firearms of our own. American soldiers
have friends, and families, and loved ones among civilian society,
and the though of turning our cannon on them is
not an option.
I believe
I speak for a vast
majority of US
military personnel, a belief I back up with personal discussions with
many servicemembers during my six years in the Army.

СЕССИЯ
ПОРУЧИЛА СИЛАЕВУ ВСТРЕТИТЬСЯ С ГОРБАЧЕВЫМ,
КРЮЧКОВ НЕ ПРИЕДЕТ К РОССИЙСКИМ ДЕПУТАТАМ
МОСКВА. /РИА/.
"Мы должны убедиться в том, что Горбачев
жив, здоров,- сказал премьер-министр РСФСР
Иван Силаев на Чрезвычайной сессии
Верховного Совета РСФСР. Он попросил
депутатов поручить ему и
вицепрезиденту РСФСР Александру
Руцкому вместе с председателем
КГБ СССР
Владимиром Крючковым и медицинскими
экспертами выехать туда,
где находится Президент Горбачев. Это
решение было принято
единогласно.
Как сообщил с
места один из депутатов /РИА пока
неизвестна фамилия/, у
него есть достоверные данные о
том, что
Владимир Крючков отдал приказ силам спецназа КГБ
СССР и ГРУ Генштаба СССР
осуществить захват "Белого
Дома" и
интернировать руководство
России. Однако Хасбулатов потребовал
доказательств этого и прервал сообщение депутата. На сессии объявлен
перерыв на 30 минут, и
в это время пришло сообщение, что Крючков
приехать на сессию

ВЫСТУПЛЕНИЕ БОРИСА ЕЛЬЦИНА НА
ЧРЕЗВЫЧАЙНОЙ СЕССИИ ВС РСФСР
МОСКВА. /РИА/.
"Путч произошел именно в тот период,
когда демократия начала
нарастать и
набирать темпы",-
заявил на
Чрезвычайной сессии российского
парламента Президент РСФСР Борис
Ельцин. Он напомнил, что уже было две
попытки правого переворота в конце
прошлого года, когда все остановило лишь
заявление Эдуарда Шеварднадзе и позиция
мирового сообщества, и на недавней сессии
ВС СССР,
"когда те же лица, которые стали
авторами нынешнего путча,
требовали для
себя особых полномочий".
Ельцин снова
заявил, что
"переворот является
антиконституционным,
так как
никаких заявлений
от законно
избранного Президента
страны не
поступало и
нет никаких медицинских
свидетельств о том, что Горбачев
недееспособен".
Он сослался на мнение личного врача
Президента СССР, который виделся накануне
переворота с
Горбачевым.
Ельцин
сообщил, что в телефонных переговорах с
руководителями стран
Запада и союзных республик, которые, по
его словам, твердо
заявили
о том,
что осуждают "антиконституционый
переворот, не
признают ГКЧП
и поддерживают российское руководство,
а так
же будут
принимать все
меры для того,
чтобы мировое
сообщество
выразило
свое отношение"
к событиям в СССР. Ельцин обратился к
руководителям Запада
с просьбой потребовать связи
с Президентом
Горбачевым, заблокированным на даче в
Крыму. -0-

РУСЛАН ХАСБУЛАТОВ О ПРИЧИНАХ
ПЕРЕВОРОТА
МОСКВА. /РИА/.
"Антиконституционный
переворот вызван
стремлением торпедировать новый Союзный
договор",- заявил исполняющий
обязанности Председателя российского
парламента Руслан Хасбулатов, выступая 21
августа на Чрезвычайной сессии
Верховного Совета РСФСР.
Другой "причиной
путча" он назвал
недовольство
реакционных
сил влиянием, которое оказывала
прогрессивная политика российского
руководства на ход событий в стране. К
числу "основных целей
заговорщиков"
Хасбулатов отнес
стремление устранить
руководство
России. Переворот
- это
и реакция
на тот
курс радикальных реформ,
на который,
после долгих колебаний,
встал Президент СССР Михаил Горбачев.
Хасбулатов призвал
парламентариев принять
на сессии
блок решений, в
частности -
Закон, одобряющий
последние действия
Президента России Бориса Ельцина. Он
высказал мнение, что в
столь решительный момент разногласия
между членами ВС РСФСР должны
быть отброшены.
Руководитель парламента России
высказал возмущение освещением нынешних
событий в стране газетами "Правда",
"Советская Россия"
и Советским ТВ.
Он предложил
национализировать
эти средства
информации уже
на этой сессии.
Хасбулатов высказал
недоумение

жестокому кровопролитию.
Второй же
гарантирует гражданский мир,

Дорогие мои

Президента РСФСР. Уверен, что вы не
допустите насилия, что

перейти на

The Latvian Parliament has apparently been taken by Soviet troops. A
Ukrainian official (I'm not sure who) declared the coup invalid (or
some such term) in the Ukraine.
Georgian President
Gamsakhurdia called on other governments

It is. And to me it came
out of a pretty blue sky. The only thing that
was not that surprising
was who did it. It may be a
prove that Gorbatschow was
not as responsible for what Pugo did in the
Balticum as some of us thought.
During the
last year I saw a couple of postings
from a
soviet machine located
in Moscow. Are you still
on the
net ? Since newspapers, tv and radio stations are now controlled by
the junta, you may be interested
to get news from the outside about what is
going on in SU. I am afraid that
the majority of people in SU is
not sure
whether the
coup is legal.
The junta
claims that Gorbatschow is
ill. This would legalize the takeover by
the vice president.
But it
is definitely not true.
French television reported
yesterday, that Gorbatschow has been brought to Moscow on Saturday and ordered
to sign a declaration of retreat. He refused
to do
that! About
where he actually is, there exists
several disagreeing news: he is either back on Krim, brought to
Sewastopol or in Moscow (the source for the first two news is french tv again,
the last one is from Interfax). All sources agree that
he is arrested.

The basic
tenets of communism, as expressed in the phrase
'from each according
to their ability, to each
according to their needs', seems to me
to break
down for large groups for the following reasons:
1) the first concept, from each according to their ability, can be
implemented
in one
of two
ways for a worker 'Vera'.
Either Vera
can be sufficiently
knowledgable about
the needs of her society to realize her duty and
do it
(which requires
near-perfect information
about a society,
which is possible for groups of 10 or 100
but not
for groups of
10 or 100 million), or someone can tell
her what
is needed, and
what she
should do. In the second case,
Vera is accepting the
authority and knowedge of the other person as to the proper application of her
labor, and in this we have the seeds of
the state.
Even with
the purest motives in the
world, and no selfishness,
something which fulfils either the role of the state (USSR) or the market
(US) must
grow into place when the communistic
society grows too large for near-perfect information.
2) the
second concept breaks down
because the word 'needs'
is undefinable in
concrete terms. Certainly
food and
water are 'needs', but is
a color tv?
a new
car? an extremely expensive life-saving medicine? a
space station?
And what
of the needs of society? In all but the most
primitive societies, there
is an excess of labor over what is required
to feed, clothe, water and
shelter the laborers and their families.
Who determines what shall be done with that excess of labor?
I'm sorry,
but the state will never 'wither away', especially in the absence of any other force directing excess labor.

There was a major

It seems to me that the bandwidth consumption will be
humongous if everyone who read
these newgroups posted their addresses, etc.
Someone posted
some time ago a message on the need not to
clog these bboards.
I have already seen close to 50 address postings, wouldn't that be
enough? My concern is that in an
attempt to be helpful, we don't end up causing problems.
Of course, people with special knowledge
(of Soviet languages, e.g.) or contacts should
continue to post,
but it would appear that
the rest
of the addresses
can stop now. Netters more

Yesterday (the 19th) was the Feast of the Transfiguration, one
of the 12 great feasts of the Orthodox Church.
This is
one of the feasts of light
in that it commemorates the shining forth of the divinity of Christ in uncreated
light on Mt Tabor in the prescence of Moses and Elijah
seen by Peter, James and John shortly before the Crucifixion.
It is not coincidental that the powers of
darkness chose this feast of light to attempt to disfigure Russia anew.
Be it known that
the free Russian Orthodox Church Outside
of Russia took notice of the events on this great feast.
Many thousands of believers in many parishes in the free
world attended Moleiben's to the New Martyrs of Russia asking
for intercession in the struggles to "free the homeland from the
cruel godless ones."
In St Louis the major network affiliates dispatched satelite crews to
my church and covered both
the Festal Liturgy and the prayers for the
Salvation of Russia. May the Patriarchate not fall
into the Sergianist obedience they know so well. May they recognize
in their own
circumstances the reality of the Martyrdom
of their predecessors and
glorify the memory of
the sacrificial offerings
made in the past. May the blood of the
New Martyrs be for the
deliverance of Russia, not as a point
of contention and further cause for unrepentant behavior.
The
only hope for Russia rests in her repentance. Mark Gilstrap

Standoff Turns Violent
Three persons were shot dead outside the Russian
Parliament
in Moscow by Soviet tank crews as armored vehicles
crashed
through a barricade guarding the building, news
reports
say.
Two Coup Leaders Reported Ill
Two
leaders of the coup that toppled Mikhail Gorbachev
are ill and no longer functioning as members of the
ruling
junta,
reports say.
Prime Minister Valentin Pavlov has high blood
pressure,
state
television announced, and Defense Minister Dmitri
Yazov is
suffering from an unspecified illness, according to
2
unconfirmed reports. Both were senior leaders of the 8-man
Emergency
Committee that replaced Gorbachev Monday.
But Politburo member Mikhail Surkov told Reuters reports
of the
resignations are not true.
Pavlov is confined to bed, an announcer on the
leading
evening
television news program Vremya said.
"We have just received information that on the morning of
Aug 19 [Monday],
the Prime Minister of the USSR, Valentin
Pavlov,
had an attack of high blood pressure," the report
said.
"As a result of medical treatment, his state improved.
Yet,
after the evening meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers,
it got
worse again," the report said.
"At present, he must remain in bed," it said.
The report said Vitaly Doguzhiyev, a deputy prime
minister
since 1989, is taking over Pavlov's duties.
It was not immediately clear whether Pavlov had a
previous history of heart
or circulatory problems. Also Tuesday, Vladimir Lukin, head of the Russian
parliament's
Foreign Relations Committee, said Yazov, 67,
had
taken ill, and that his duties in the new government were temporarily being
filled by Gen Mikhail Moiseyev, the chief of the general staff.
A duty officer at the Defense Ministry Press Center
said Tuesday night he could neither confirm nor deny the report.
Tanks
Close In
Earlier Tuesday, Yeltsin,
president of the Russian republic,
told British Prime Minister John Major that tanks were approaching the Parliament building in Moscow where he is headquartered.
"He believed he had not very much time left," Major said.
But a Russian republic official said Gennady Yanayev,
the
acting Soviet
president, has given Yeltsin his "word
of honor" that the Russian Parliament building will not be stormed
Tuesday night.
The tank movement came hours after Yeltsin gave a
fiery
speech denouncing government hard-liners.
Tanks Move
A clandestine
radio station inside the Parliament
building, Moscow Echo,
said tanks rolled to within a mile of the
building and that an assault was feared imminent.
Several tanks were seen traveling from the airfield
toward the
Russian Parliament building along a major street, but turned off
before reaching the building, according to a
producer at the
nearby NBC
News office. Streets around the
Parliament building were blocked off.
But many soldiers are going over to Yeltsin's side. Yeltsin was quoted
as saying
2 elite divisions expressed a willingess to
defend Parliament.
Soviet Foreign Minister Also Reported "Sick"
"The junta that has come to power will not stop at anything to
keep that power," Yeltsin said earlier Tuesday to a crowd of about
150,000. "They understand that things have reached the point
that if they
lose, they will lose not only their armchairs, but
they will be seated on court benches."
Even as he spoke, there were indications the
hard-liners
are moving to try to silence Gorbachev allies.
A Soviet Foreign Ministry official said Foreign
Minister
Alexander Bessmertnykh
had taken "sick"
after returning
from vacation.
Coal Miners Strike
The Soviet official said, however, that Bessmertnykh
is
"expected to return to work in a few days."
The coup leaders have also claimed that Gorbachev is
ill,
but few believe it.
Gorbachev has not been heard from since Monday's coup,
which came while he was vacationing in the Crimea.
In an economic threat to the new government, coal
miners
in Siberia
and the Soviet far north
heeded Yeltsin's call
and
walked off the job.
But a general strike, also called for by Yeltsin, is
failing to materialize.
Where Is Gorbachev?
Gorbachev Said Held Under KGB Guard
Former Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev is being held in the Crimea
with 2 key aides under KGB guard, a senior
official
of the Russian republic said Tuesday.
Sergei Stankevich says Monday's coup began when an
unnamed
Soviet military officer gave the order to block the
presidential
plane from leaving Foros, the location of the
presidential retreat,
about 700
miles south
of Moscow.
Gorbachev's staff and his high-tech communications
gear
were
flown out soon after, leaving Gorbachev isolated. KGB security forces took
full control at the scene, he says.
Reported Attempt to Free Him
Stankevich's account is at odds with the Emergency
Committee's
official announcement, which said it had taken
power
because of Gorbachev's ill health.
ABC News reports that some local KGB authorities
attempted
to free Gorbachev but failed. The network says the
attempt
occurred Monday and may explain unconfirmed reports
that
Gorbachev had left Crimea.
Bush Returns to Maine
Sending the Right Signal
Bush Resumes
His Vacation With an Eye on Moscow
President Bush has resumed his vacation and is back in
Kennebunkport, Me.
Before returning from an overnight visit to Washington,
Bush told reporters to expect a busier schedule during his
remaining
2 holiday weeks in Kennebunkport, Me.
Bush was mindful of criticism of his decision to proceed
with his
vacation after Iraq's invasion of Kuwait last year. "I'm going to spend a
little more time--maybe quite a bit
more time--in various formal ways that you will see unveiled
in
staying on top of this situation," Bush said.
"I don't want to send a signal, by sitting around the
Oval Office looking busy, that the American people should
expect
an instant satisfactory answer to this problem," he
added.
Bush also announced Robert Strauss, sworn in as US
ambassador
to the Soviet Union Tuesday, would travel to
Moscow
immediately on a fact-finding mission and report back
to him
"in the next several days."
Earlier Tuesday, Bush said he spoke by phone with Yeltsin
and
assured him of US support for restoring Soviet President
Mikhail
Gorbachev to power.

USSR - WHAT DO THEY THINK ?
Aug. 20 th 23.00 GMT.
Reflections on what the actors in the current soviet
drama wants : Apparently Gorbatjov had a problem deciding whether he should
be part of the reform movement or part of the old
communist guard. I find it hard to believe that he could believe some sort of
half way solution could be found ... either the press
is free
or it
is not ... either there is
one ruling party or there are
many parties ...either there is democracy or there is not ....
If Gorbatjov
saw his mission as confusing the hardliners , making way for democratic forces
he was a nb. 1. success . If he believed in
the middle road between
dictatorship and democracy he himself must have been confused.
Having enough
of Gorbatjovs Glasnost and Perestroijka hardliners decided to remove him ... But besides from a
longing for the
nice old ordered yesterday they seem to lack the
stomach of 'good' dictatorship !
The first 8 hours of the coup was less than excellent
executed.
a) Why
wasnt Yeltsin
taken also - along
with the
mayor of Leningrad
and Moscow and A L L other pominent proreform
personage.
b) Why wasnt a die-hard communist military unit kept
in reserve in Leningrad and Moscow for a 'chinese solution' to demonstrators.
c) Why
wasnt all military units
in ( at least ) Leningrad
and Moscow equipped
with enforcers ( SS-style ) to make
sure they always knows
which way to go ?
Then comes the plan for the next 5 - 10 years , where
the
the old guard have all odds against them :
In the long run I doubt that dictatorship works in a
hightech society .
Economic progress
takes openness,free access to
information, free flow of money and freedom to travel.
All opposites to oldfashioned dictatorship.
So if economic progress takes free minds ( and at
least not slaves ) the
conspirators can succeed in restoring dictatorship only
by accepting the USSR as a developing country.
Basicly : if they have hopes of improvement in the
economy - they must
relax dictatorship - As
Gorbatjov did
- with the
known anarchy/ democracy as a consequence.
And they are all against that solution !
If their only ambition was to slow down the process
of reform too keep the priviledges in their lifetime ,this platform looks
shaky compared to a idealistic and determined people set on democracy.
Internally the conspirators now comes down with all sorts
of illnesses
( rumours
includes GMT. 22.00
Jasov,Paulov and Kritjujkov ) . Statistically speaking I feel that 'illnesses'
are running high
in the junta --- perhaps
some of the conspirators agree
with the arguments
of above and havent got the stomach for the coming
shootout ? Simon.

Here is
a simple program that takes the Russian-language postings and
changes the
transliteration to make it more readable to
Englishbased eyes. This
does not translate, nor does it display Cyrillic (I'm working on
the latter,
& will
post when
done). The
conversion does
not attempt to represent
each Russian
letter uniquely; 'y' is used for the "i kratkoye", the
non-palatizing i, and
as a prefix for the letters ya and yu.
Similarly, I used 'e' for both
e and "e oborotnaya". The
soft sign is ' and the hard sign
`. You can
muck with the table if you prefer a different
scheme.
The program
is used as a filter - feed it the article on standard input.
I call the program "tl"
and the source file "tl.c". To compile
on Unix, save the following code in tl.c and type
"cc tl.c -o tl". It can
be used in rn with the
command "| tl | more". It
sure makes
english text come out strange!

There's been
a number of articles in Russian posted
by netters from within the USSR.
I gather they contain the latest
update concerning the situation in the Soviet Union.
Unfortunately not
all of us read Russian. So if
there's anyone out there
that would be kind enough to translate these
articles into English, your effort will be greatly appreicated.
Thank you.

Информация, которую в ночь с 20
на 21 августа
передавала
радиостанция, именовавшая себя
"Эхо Москвы",
как выяснилось, не
соответствовала действительности.
Как сообщил
корреспондент "Эхо
Москвы" Алексей Венедиктов,
радиостанция была
закрыта в
22. 45.
"Липовые" сообщения
лжерадиостанции,
в особенности преувеличения
числа жертв, носят явно
провокационный характер.

Сегодня
информационным агентством "St.
Petersburg
business
news"
распространено следующее заявление
Анатолия Собчака.
ЗАЯВЛЕНИЕ
АНАТОЛИЯ СОБЧАКА ДЛЯ ДЕЛОВЫХ КРУГОВ МИРА
(Ленинград, 21
августа, 02.00 МСК) В связи с резко
обострившейся
политической ситуацией в
СССР мэр
Ленинграда Анатолий Собчак дал
корреспонденту информационного агентства
"St. Petersburg
business
news" эксклюзивное
интервью специально
для распространения в деловых кругах
мира.
"Я
вынужден констатировать,
- заявил
Анатолий Собчак,
что появление на советской
политической сцене антиконституционного
Государственного комитета по
чрезвычайному положению вызывает
законные опасения бизнесменов мира
относительно уже сделанных
или предполагавшихся
инвестиций в экономику СССР".
Риск иностранных
капиталовложений, как
и вообще сотрудничества
с коммерческими
структурами нашей
страны существенно возрос. Однако,
по мнению
Анатолия
Собчака, ситуация не является
непредсказуемой. Она попрежнему
контролируется законно избранными
властями в
ряде регионов страны и в том числе в
Ленинграде.
Поступающие
со всех
концов страны
сообщения о
растущем
противодействии
путчистам наряду
с решительной
позицией
правительства России и
весьма популярного в народных массах
Бориса Ельцина также
весьма характерны. Они свидетельствуют не
только о целом ряде
стратегических ошибок, допущенных
так называемым
Государственным комитетом по
чрезвычайному положению
при попытке
захвата власти, но и о неустойчивости его
положения.
В настоящий
момент, как считает Анатолий Собчак,
просматривается b`( варианта возможного
развития событий.
Первый,
наиболее
вероятный:
в результате
противостояния правительства
Ельцина и
комитета Янаева-Павлова путч будет
подавлен в ближайшие пять-шесть дней.
Второй,
который складывается уже сейчас, но
едва ли закрепится:
заговорщики смогут
контролировать ситуацию лишь
в некоторых
регионах, но
не в
таких стратегически важных, как
Москва, Ленинград,
Украина, Казахстан,
районы Сибири.
Продолжающийся переход
военных подразделений на сторону
законной власти
не позволит Янаеву-Павлову развязать широкомасштабную
гражданскую войну,
и, будучи изолированными,
они окажутся вынуждены
спустя какое-то время капитулировать.
Наконец, третий вариант,
который представляется менее
вероятным:
Государственный комитет
по чрезвычайному
положению захватывает
в свои руки всю полноту власти. Даже в
этом случае,
который, как подчеркнул Анатолий Собчак,
исключает само развитие
событий, путчисты не смогут предпринять
сколь-нибудь решительных
шагов в отношении частных
капиталовложений - как иностранных,
так и собственно
советских. "Это
обусловлено как
нынешним
катастрофическим
положением экономики, так и чрезвычайно
негативными последствиями
для нее,
которые не
могут неосознаваться.
Не случачайно
сам бывший
вице-президент СССР
Янаев, при всем нашем недоверии к любым его
действиям,
на пресс-конференции
19 августа заявил о
поддержке частной инициативы, - ничего
другого он просто не мог предложить."
Таким образом, по
словам Анатолия Собчака, "осознавая
свою меру
ответственности перед
избирателями, законом и нашими
зарубежными партнерами
и предпринимая
все возможные
меры для
обуздания путчистов,
правительство России
вправе рассчитывать на политическую
и экономическую
поддержку международной
общественности и
деловых кругов
мира в частности. Поддержка
центрального правительства означает
сегодня поддержку путчистов." Что
касается Ленинграда, то Анатолий
Собчак заявил, что органы власти
города, поддерживая усилия президента
Ельцина по наведению порядка в стране,
продолжают работу по организации зоны
свободного предпринимательства.

According to the info from the supreme council of Russia the junta (all
its members) went to
the 'Vnukovo' airport. President
of Russia
Yeltsyn ordered
'Aeroflot',KGB and troops to arrest
them. This deceision
was approved by the
congress of
supreme council
of Russia. By the
time nobody
knows whether the junta
members are
fleeing from justice or want
to go
to Crimea (use Gorbi as
a hostage?).

On the last showing of CNN world Report, They stated that the only
viable news
coming out from the area is
from INTERFAX, Tass is not currently
reliable.
A problem
has arisen from CNN's last report, though.
They gave estimated numbers
of Computers, Fax machines, et
al... in
the RFSFR... they also had an expose on email to-from Moscow.
If the Soviet
Government happened to see this, they might seriously
try to destroy the
Internet Links out. I know this is just theory and conjecture, but coming from
russian folk, i seriously doubt that the
links will exist for more than a day or two (I hope i'm wrong) TO ALL SOVIET
FOLK WHO MIGHT SEE THIS!
In my opinion, i truly feel that the link will come down
and I think
that you should consider all mail that goes out to be
your last.
Also, if
you want someone to know who you are and that you
were part of the computer links... send mail to the net or directly
to me... I will do my part
and keep a list of the last of the EMAILPeople. This was done by my family
during the Bolshevik Revolution so that
the relatives out of the country knew who was in danger, when they were
last seen, where they were living, etc...
I hope
that I
have not said anything out of order, if so
I apologise.
Do not clutter this net
with flames directed towards me.. send it via email
I thank you for the time...

"On the
