Transcription: Boris Yeltsin called on the people to follow only the elected governments of Gorbachev and the Russian Federation, demanding a general strike until Gorbachev is restored to power. Some took matters into their own hands. Many people were just sick at heart, their dreams of democracy fading with the hours. Gorbachev had arrived back in Moscow in the darkness of early Thursday morning. His 72 hours of isolation, what he would later call his drama behind him. Thank you.
