    29 years ago today, the August 19th Incident that shocked the world occurred in the Soviet Union. Those steadfast patriots hoped to try to save the Soviet Union's existence through the last effort, but unfortunately they failed tragically under the attack of enemies inside and outside. After the August 19th Incident, the once powerful Soviet Union was destined to become history. In less than half a year, the Soviet Union ceased to exist. An era was over...

    Perhaps for most young people, the August 19th incident is so unfamiliar. If it weren’t for those who specialize in history, not many people would explore the causes and consequences of this incident, but for me who had experienced that incredible era. , Although nearly thirty years have passed, everything seems to have happened yesterday. The disintegration of the Soviet Union was a major event for the whole world, but for those who experienced that era, it was an all-round blow...especially the ideological shock, which really cannot be described in words. In my impression, the Soviet Union, which was able to compete with the United States for hegemony and the red flag, had died. This was nothing short of fantasy at the time. However, when the facts are in front of them, even if many people can hardly believe them, they cannot deny that it has become a fact. The Soviet Union has become history forever...

    I don't want to talk more about the cause and effect of the August 19 incident itself, but the lessons learned from this incident are worthy of our profound learning. Why couldn't the once powerful Soviet Union even protect itself? Why did the proud red power turn into flying smoke at the critical moment? There is an old saying: the overturning of the cars ahead, the lessons from the cars behind. Even if we are already standing at the high point of the historical path, the more glorious the moment, the less we can forget the fallen regrets and failures. We often say that doing things depends on a certain amount of energy, and this kind of energy stems from the belief rooted in the heart. The word faith is repeatedly mentioned in work and life, but what is faith? If it is turned into ordinary words, I think it is the driving force to make unremitting efforts for the yearning for a better life. No matter how great the truth is, it’s better to experience something profound. The August 19th incident was just like this...

    Over the years, we have been talking about not forgetting our original intention, so what is our original intention? The original intention I understand is that the martyrs who threw their heads and blood so that everyone living in this land can live a good life, continue to move forward and struggle unremittingly in the face of cruel struggles again and again. The fall of the Soviet Union was precisely because many people in the Soviet Union had forgotten their original intentions, only saw the immediate interests, only thought about their own comfort, only cared about their own lives, abandoned their own missions, and abandoned the expectations of the general public. Gained confidence in faith. Even though there are thousands of reasons, in the final analysis, it is just the word 'selfish'...Look back and take a look at the people who won in the August 19th Incident. Yes, they won the struggle for a while, but They lost the Soviet Union forever, and lost the most powerful force since the birth of this country. How is Russia today, how was the Soviet Union back then, in contrast, how many Russians have sighed after the loss of nearly 30 years, and how many old people who have experienced the August 19th Incident and supported Yeltsin regretted...

    During the epidemic this year, there was such a joke on the Internet that the United States said that the epidemic had regressed Russia for 30 years, but then some Russian netizens excitedly said, 'Regressed for 30 years? At that time we were a powerful Soviet Union! However, the joke is ultimately a joke, just as the Soviet Union has become history forever, and it will never come back... But behind such a joke, our young people can understand that the Soviet Union was a glorious era, and it was also a generation of Russia. Reminiscences that people can’t give up...As Datu said: “Today, we look back at history not to seek comfort from success, nor to find excuses for avoiding the difficulties and problems facing today, but to summarize. Historical experience, grasping the laws of history, and strengthening the courage and strength to advance.” The same is true of looking back and remembering the August 19th incident. We must not only face up to the achievements we have made, but also always beware of various accompanying problems, especially In the current increasingly complex situation, only by maintaining a clear and correct mind can we not forget our original intention and move forward!
