Archive - October 1993. Putsch in Moscow 

Gueorgui Pinkhassov 

On October 1993, Russia gets into a deep constitutional crisis between the Russian president Boris Yeltsin and the Russian parliament. In Moscow, on October 5, tanks bombard the White House, a government building that housed the Russian parliament, while demonstrators against President Boris Yeltsin rally outside.
The ten-day conflict became the deadliest single event of street fighting in Moscow's history since the Russian Revolution.
