Radio War Nerd EP 263 — Yeltsin's 1993 Coup, Part 4: The Apologists

Recorded: January 14, 2021 The final part of our series on Yeltsin's 1993 coup, we look at the aftermath — the end of Russia's democracy, a constitution making the presidency a near dictator, all fully backed by Washington DC. And we look at the coup's apologists in the US media: New York Times, Washington Post, and above all, the New Yorker's David Remnick. We also pay tribute to the late Stephen Cohen, Rest In Power... First, we discuss Dublin junkies & the January 6 CoupAnon... -At 26:45 we recap the last day of Yeltsin's coup, October 4, 1993, and the bloody days immediately following...and then we turn our attention to the US Establishment media's shameless support for Yeltsin's coup... Check out the rest of our RWN series on Yeltsin's 1993 coup: Part One (EP #260) , Part Two (EP #261), and Part Three (EP #262). Total time: 2:01:01 Direct link to this episode's mp3 here
