Yeltsin anniversary spurs protests in Moscow
About 4,000 opponents gathered outside the Russian parliament to mark the second anniversary of the August 1991 putsch attempt. Protesters waved red Soviet and Czarist flags while denouncing Yeltsin and his administration. A coalition called the National Salvation Front organized the rally, which followed a larger Friday confrontation between hard-liners and Yeltsin supporters.
