Governance, Diversity, and Social Justice – The 1991 Soviet Putsch attempt

The overarching goal of the Globalink research project is to gain a comprehensive understanding of the 1991 Soviet coup attempt by delving into the motivations, strategic decisions, and enduring implications of this pivotal event.
The central research question guiding this endeavor will have answers to such questions: What were the underlying motivations and strategic decisions made by the plotters of the 1991 Soviet coup, and how did the coup’s failure shape the trajectory of the Soviet Union and subsequently, post-Soviet Russia?
