"The events of August 1991 in Moscow may in time be recognized to have been the most important single political happening of the second half of the twentieth century. During the decisive forty-eight hours from the early morning of August 19 to the early morning of August 21, the most destructive ideology and powerful empire of our time fell apart-and hitherto largely passive and divided Russian people came together." - Part One: Introduction, Russia Transformed: Breakthrough To Hope
