The shooting of the White House

The shooting of the White House, which occurred as a result of the internal political conflict that was brewing since 1992, was the reason that the Supreme Soviet of the Russian Federation was overclocked, as well as the Congress of People's Deputies. The confrontation lasted from the twenty-first of September to the fourth of October of the year one thousand nine hundred and ninety-three. The purpose of the conflict was the forceful termination of the existence of the Soviet system, which dominated the country from the year one thousand nine hundred and seventeen. Events unfolded on the streets of Moscow and were accompanied by clashes of armed groups, as well as military operations. In this period, as a result of the conflict, three hundred and eighty-four people were injured, and one hundred and fifty-seven died.

In the confrontation that led to the crisis, two political forces were involved. One of them was headed by the President of the Russian Federation B. Yeltsin. In the composition of this coalition was the government headed by V. Chernomyrdin. To him adjoined part of the deputies and representatives of the Supreme Council, which were on the side of the president. The political force that confronted them included those who opposed the socio-economic reforms carried out by the authorities. These included: Vice-President A. Rutskoi, as well as the majority of deputies and representatives of the Supreme Council of the Russian Federation. R. Khasbulatov headed the block. The coalition opposing the existing government included the majority of the members of the Russian Unity party, which consisted of former military, radical-minded communists, as well as deputies oriented toward the socialist arrangement of society. The initiator of the unity of these parties was S. Baburin.

The events, known as the "shooting of the White House" or "putsch in Russia", began with the appearance of the Decree under the number one thousand four hundred, which was signed by B. Yeltsin. This document required the immediate dissolution of the Supreme Council, as well as the Congress of People's Elections. The publication of the decree contradicted the then existing Russian constitution. The shooting of the White House was carried out for the forceful dispersal of the Congress and the Council.

In full accordance with article one hundred and twenty one of the highest law of the state, Boris Yeltsin automatically lost his power due to the fact that he violated the constitutional norms. However, he actually presided over the country until August, one thousand nine hundred and ninety-six, that is, until the period when he was elected by the people for the next term.

The shooting of the White House was a tragic event and the fault of R. Khasbulatov's personal ambitions. It was he who, being the chairman of the Supreme Council, expressed unwillingness to make compromise decisions with representatives of the current administration during the conflict. On the other hand, Boris Yeltsin did not offer to negotiate.

The shooting of the White House was provoked by the actions of the representatives of the power authorities. The Moscow police dispersed demonstrations and rallies held in support of the Supreme Council, and also detained the most active participants in the speeches, which was often expressed in mass beatings with the use of special means.

Patriarch Alexy II, trying to extinguish the conflict, proposed re-election of both the president and the people's representatives. However, these negotiations were thwarted due to the fact that Moscow was covered by riots.

Until now, the society does not have certain information about the causes of the tragic conflict, as well as the role of leaders of political coalitions in the events that have occurred. The investigation team, which was supposed to answer all these questions, was disbanded. Until now, there is no information about the subordination of snipers, who were given the command to shoot civilians, as well as who should answer for the tragic final.
