Answer:

It made the Soviet people reject the Communist Party.

Step-by-step explanation:

The coup turned public opinion against keeping the Soviet Union, because the Soviet people did not trust Communist Party members to allow reform--they would always use oppression to stay in power. Boris Yeltsin became the nation’s leader, and he led the way to breaking the Soviet Union up.
