Moscow - About 6,000 Russians marched through the streets of the capital yesterday to mark the 1993 crushing of a coup attempt by the Soviet-era parliament and prepare for a day of nationwide strikes next week.
The demonstration was the second at the weekend to mark the attempt and its violent quelling by President Yeltsin. Several hundred people joined a protest on Saturday.
Dozens of people were killed when Mr Yeltsin sent in tanks on October 3rd, 1993, against hardline opponents who had defied his decision to dissolve the Soviet-era parliament by occupying the White House parliament building.
