Could August Putsch save the Soviets?

No, it would lead to a civil war. Even the putchists realized that.

Only thing that could have save the Soviets was Trotsky's return.

Hello there

>>1911466
I don't think anything could have saved the Soviets. It was doomed to [COLAPSE] in 1917.

No, those weren't some Stalin-tier fearsome characters, they were old delusional commies who in the end pussied out.
And while I harbor no love for commies Yeltsin was bigger criminal than most of them (and ex-commie).

Yeltsin would likely be contained by Gorbachev if the coup never took place.

The first half of 1991 was a good time for Gorbachev who seemed to finally start to manage the mess that erupted in 1990. The referendum in March of 1991 gave a great boost of legitimacy to Gorbachev and strengthened his position. Even Yeltsin, who won the election for the president of Russia in June 1991, became much tamer. Had the new union treaty was signed, the USSR might have survived.
