Answer 2

A large group of Communists attempted to take control of the Soviet Union because they disliked his ideas.

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1991, a coup d Etat tried to overtake the government of the USSR, as Gorbachev changes defied communist ideals.

This failed attempt was led by conservative communist members of the CPSU. (The Communist Party of the Soviet Union)- They strongly opposed Gorbachev liberal views on the reforms and the Union treaty recently created with the neighboring republics.

The coup d' Etat took Moscow as a witness to a short-lived campaign of civil resistance under the leadership of Boris Yeltsin. He had been gathering forces as a critic to Gorbachev and tried to put pressure. This, however, didn't last for more than a couple of days and the destabilization of the government only fostered the fall of the Soviet State.
