| Â | Estonia - Independence Reclaimed, August 1991-October 1992 |
 | | In contrast to Latvia and Lithuania, Estonia, in its August 20 independence declaration, took the additional step of convening a constitutional assembly immediately to draft a new basic law for the country. | | | At 11:00 P.M., the Supreme Council, as the legislature was now known, passed a final resolution declaring full independence and requesting de facto international recognition. | | | On October 5, 1992, in its first session, the Riigikogu, which replaced the transitional Supreme Council, issued a declaration establishing its legal continuity with the prewar republic and declaring an official end to the transition to independence announced two-and-one-half years earlier. |

| | Among the list of nomenklatura to be replaced were Prime Minister Valentin Pavlov, Defense Minister Dmitry Yazov, and KGB Chief Yanov Kryuchkov the main conspirators in the August Coup. | | | Vice President Gennady Yanayev arrived at the Kremlin on August 18, the day after Gorbachev was isolated in the Crimea, and was asked to sign a state of emergency order. | | | Subsequently, on the eighteenth of August, a delegation was sent to Gorbachev's dacha to deliver an ultimatum support the state of emergency or step down. |

| | Rutskoi was Yeltsin's vice president, and in August 1991 he was right beside him at the White House, leading the resistance to the reactionary coup. | | | The August 17, 1998 crisis also ushered in a new political and economic era in Russia. | | | Oleg Rumyantsev, a constitutional scholar who worked on an early draft of what became the 1993 Constitution, said the democrats themselves must share the blame for Russia's failings. |

| | The President was at pains to reiterate his great confidence in both men, and to assure them that differences of opinion in Washington would not prevent the U.S. government from acting as a unit under his direction. | | | He continued to avoid any official contact with Diem, but on September 2 he had his second meeting with Nhu (the first on August 27 was an inconclusive statement of positions on each side) in company with the Italian Ambassador and the Papal Delegate. | | | With State's instructions of 24 August as guidance, Lodge met with Harkins, Truehart, Mecklin, and Richardson on the morning of August 26 before presenting his credentials to Diem. |

| Â | JFK and the Diem Coup |
| | Diem had originally come to power by legal means, appointed prime minister of the government that had existed in 1954, and he had then consolidated power through a series of military coups, quasi-coups, a government reorganization, a referendum on his leadership, and finally a couple of staged presidential elections. | | | President Diem's worsening situation led him to declare martial law in August 1963, and on August 21 Ngo Dinh Nhu used the martial law authority to carry out major raids on the largest pagodas of the Buddhist group behind the protests. | | | President Kennedy continues his consideration of a policy of support for a coup in Saigon, this time with the participation of recently-returned ambassador to Saigon Frederick C. Nolting. |

| | We would-be generals are forever fighting the last war; the last war, in this case, was a legal coup d'etat in 2000 that was only made possible by the closest Electoral College tally in modern times and a remarkable confluence of factors and events, not the least of which was that people weren't expecting it. | | | This time, plenty of people, like my friend, are bracing themselves for the worst, or at least admitting to the possibility. | | | The election will proceed on schedule and without a coup, sanitized or otherwise. |
