Speech by the Communist Gurenko, 24 August 1991

From the personal archive of Yaroslav Kendzor.

24 August 1991, Kyiv.

The video shows a speech by Stanislav Gurenko, First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Ukraine, in the Verkhovna Rada (on his readiness, as head of the Communist Party, to give evidence to the relevant authorities; democracy as disorder; his view on the handling of the Communist Party’s archives). Vyacheslav Chornovil asks Leonid Kravchuk a question (why he did not listen to the people’s opinion and why he did not give his assessment of the actions of the anti-state committee; why he did not allow him to attend the meeting of the Presidium of the Verkhovna Rada). Leonid Kravchuk replies from the podium.
