1993 Russian constitutional crisis. Bodies of people killed during the conflict at the Russian White House lay behind a concrete wall near the Moscow River. October 4 1993. Russian President Boris Yeltsin, first Russian President 1991-1999, ordered the army to use T-80 battle tanks to shell the country’s legislature building known as the Russian White House on the Moscow River in central Moscow. Yeltsin had disbanded the parliament in late September of 1993 and Vice President Aleksandr Rutskoi and Supreme Soviet speaker Ruslan Khasbulatov lead Soviet lawmakers to barricade themselves inside the White House. Earlier in the week armed Anti-Yeltsin rioters attacked the Ostankino Television complex and the Moscow Mayor’s office. The Russian army’s attack on the White House came at the end of what is considered to be the worst violence in Moscow since the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution. When the rioters surrendered and Rutskoi and Khasbulatov were arrested, according to the Russian Government 74 people had died and 172 were injured during the conflict.
