Moscow: Memorial for those who fell in the October 1993 popular uprising, Oct. 3, 2024.
MOSCOW: Today, October 3, 2024, members of the United Communist Party, the Russian Communist Workers' Party, the Union of Communist Youth, representatives of the "Independent Trade Union New Labor" and others took part in a memorial event dedicated to the popular uprising of October 3-4, 1993.
The events that took place during these days became a turning point in the establishment of an open bourgeois dictatorship in the Russian Federation. The degenerated part of the top of the CPSU, which treacherously put an end to the USSR and socialism in 1991, took a course on bringing the political and administrative structure in line with the needs of the development of the new bourgeois state, which arose on the basis of a raider seizure of public socialist property by a small group of people.
In these conditions, the Supreme Council and the Constitution, rooted in the Soviet era, despite the socialist content formally eliminated after 1991, were an obstacle for the new masters of the country in further strengthening their power and the complete appropriation of all property created by the people. This is precisely why President Boris Yeltsin carried out a coup d'etat, the purpose of which was to liquidate the last, in essence, remnants of Soviet power, real parliamentarism and popular representation.
For going beyond the constitutional field, Yeltsin was removed from office by the decision of the Supreme Council, but thanks to the leadership of the security forces that betrayed the Constitution and the Motherland, he managed to stay in power and successfully complete the coup. During this process, the uprising of the people who came out in Moscow in support of the legitimate government was brutally suppressed and drowned in blood -- thousands of people died.
Even after more than thirty years, the opposition forces do not forget what happened in those tragic days. Representatives of a number of political, trade union and public organizations met in the capital to honor the memory of those who died for Soviet power and to brand with shame the executioners who carried out a bloody forceful cover-up of the process of establishing the dictatorship of bourgeois raiders in our country.
The event was led by the Secretary of the United Communist Party (OKP) Central Committee Denis Sommer. The acting first secretary of the OKP Central Committee Vladimir Lakeev, members of the Russian Communist Workers' Party (RKRP) Artem Buslaev and Vera Basistova spoke.
The participants, as in all previous years, expressed their firm determination to fight to ensure that all those involved in the suppression of the popular uprising, no matter how many decades have passed since the tragic year of 1993, bear severe responsibility for their criminal acts, which have no statute of limitations.
