Unsuccessful Coup
“If the members of the Politburo had chosen a communist hard-liner or if the August 1991 coup against Gorbachev
had succeeded, there is little doubt that, increased defense spending or no, communism would have continued for
at least another decade or so, until the same factors of economic inefficiency and demographics simply
overwhelmed it.”

“If Soviet leaders are determined to avoid economic reform and experimentation in order to overcome the looming
crisis of slow growth and declining productivity, then they will be increasingly under pressure to turn to Europe,
the United States and Japan for economic support, credit, trade and technology. This suggests a more conciliatory foreign
policy. And if this is unacceptable, then a new leadership will have to contemplate the consequences of a period of
economic stringencies that might even weaken the Soviet defense effort.”
- William G. Hyland, a senior associate at the Carnegie Endowment
