Russia - United States Relations, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The history of the relations between the Russian Federation and the United States starts with the dissolution of the Soviet Union. The weakening of the Soviet government led to a series of events that eventually caused the dissolution of the Soviet Union, a gradual process that took place from about January 19, 1990, to December 31, 1991. This process was characterized by many of the Soviet Socialist Republics declaring their independence and being recognized as sovereign nation-states. Late at night on January 19, 1990, 26, 000 Soviet troops stormed Baku in order to crush the Popular Front. In the course of the storming, the troops attacked the protesters, firing in the crowds. The shooting continued for three days. They acted pursuant to a state of emergency (which continued for more than 4 months) declared by the USSR Supreme Soviet Presidium, signed by President Gorbachev.
