Who do you side with in the 1993 Russian Constitutional Crisis?

[Obama-Biden Democrat]

This is a much less widely remembered event compared to the 1991 Soviet coup attempt, where Yeltsin was atop the tank defying the coup. Ironically enough, just two years later in 1993 Yeltsin was the one who ordered the army to surround the Russian parliament building. The Russian constitution at the time gave Parliament the power to impeach the President, like the US constitution does. Yeltsin was extremely unpopular in 1992/93 after moving much too fast with privatization leading to him getting impeached by the Russian parliament.  What Yeltsin did would be the equivalent of Nixon sending in the 81st airborne to arrest Congress. Tanks and snipers shot at the building to force the Parliament to evacuate.

What say you?

[Obama-Biden Democrat]

     I am usually not a fan of the President laying siege to the main Legislative body.

But Yeltsin was such a Democrat!
