This last volume in the annual series chronicles the developments
that led up to the abortive August coup, the disintegration of the
Soviet Union, and the establishment of the Commonwealth of
Independent States. The book is arranged as a day-by-day chronology
with boldface headlines identifying individual topics. Among the
highlights are analyses of the crackdown in the Baltic republics,
the miners' strikes, and the ongoing ethnic warfare in the
Transcaucasus; the referendum on the future of the USSR and the
prolonged negotiations between the center and the republics over
the Union treaty; the emergence of Russia as an alternative center
of power; and the banning of the Soviet Communist Party. The volume
also documents in depth the failed coup and the political
realignment that followed, the disastrous state of the economy, and
the discussion of potential future cooperation among the newly
independent republics.
