[dorvalois]

Готовлю в своём персональном блоге материал о падении Советской империи.
Я хотел дать всё сразу в ЖЖ, но запись оказалась слишком большой.
Пока вместо анонса - несколько фоток.

Когда переведу подписи к ним - не знает никто, так что следите за рекламой тут.

About 100,000 demonstrators march on the Kremlin in Moscow on January 20, 1991. Many called for the resignation of Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev protesting against the Soviet army crackdown against the nationalist Lithuanian authorities. Lithuania had been the first Baltic Republic to proclaim its independence in March 1990. (Vitaly Armand/AFP/Getty Images)
