The crossword clue "Locale of a 1991 coup attempt by the Gang of Eight, in brief" points to the USSR. In August 1991, a faction of hardline Communist Party officials known as the Gang of Eight attempted a coup against Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev. The coup aimed to reverse Gorbachev's reformist policies and restore the previous Soviet regime's authoritarian control amid the rising tide of nationalism and independence movements within the Soviet republics.
The coup unfolded primarily in Moscow, where the Gang of Eight sought to detain Gorbachev while he was on vacation in Crimea. However, the coup ultimately failed due to significant public resistance, led by figures like Boris Yeltsin, who rallied citizens to oppose the coup by standing in front of tanks and calling for democracy. The events of this coup attempt marked a critical turning point in Soviet history, accelerating the dissolution of the USSR, which formally dissolved later that year in December. The failure of the coup signified the collapse of Communist rule in the Soviet Union and paved the way for the establishment of independent republics across the former Soviet space.
