Question

which figure emerged from the august coup as a national hero in russia?
○ vladimir putin
○ mikhail gorbachev
○ nursultan nazarbayev
○ boris yeltsin

Explanation:

The August Coup in 1991 was an attempt to overthrow Mikhail Gorbachev's government. Boris Yeltsin played a key role in resisting the coup, which led to him being seen as a national hero in Russia. Vladimir Putin was not prominent in the August Coup context, Mikhail Gorbachev was the one whose government was targeted, and Nursultan Nazarbayev was a leader in Kazakhstan, not central to the Russian August Coup hero narrative.

Answer:

D. Boris Yeltsin
