The 1991 Soviet coup d'état attempt , also known as the August Coup ( Russian : Августовский путч , tr . Avgustovskiy Putch `` August Putsch '' ) , was an attempt by members of the Soviet Union 's government to take control of the country from Soviet President and General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev . The coup leaders were hard - line members of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union ( CPSU ) who were opposed to Gorbachev 's reform program and the new union treaty that he had negotiated which decentralised much of the central government 's power to the republics . They were opposed , mainly in Moscow , by a short but effective campaign of civil resistance led by Russian president Boris Yeltsin , who had been both an ally and critic of Gorbachev . Although the coup collapsed in only two days and Gorbachev returned to government , the event destabilised the Soviet Union and is widely considered to have contributed to both the demise of the CPSU and the dissolution of the Soviet Union . | what was significant about the outcome of the august coup in the soviet union | demise of the CPSU and the dissolution of the Soviet Union |

Summer defined it as `` the technical name for the view of things in which one 's own group is the center of everything , and all others are scaled and rated with reference to it . '' He further characterized ethnocentrism as often leading to pride , vanity , beliefs of one 's own group 's superiority , and contempt of outsiders .
