Clearly Soviet Union was capable producing quality stuff: you can't get dude to space and back alive if you put him in a lovely spaceship. How come this quality never transferred to consumer products?

A good friend of mine is a Soviet born Estonian and she hates Russians with unmatched fervor.

Like she spends her free time fantasizing about the genocide of their people.

Which got me thinking, how is Soviet Union remembered in different republics? It's pretty clear what the memory is in baltic states, but how about the different -stans and so on?

Did the coup plotters stand a chance or was that enterprise doomed from the start?

What they were even trying to achieve? They were "hardliners" yes, but why would they thought that people would gladly return to Brezhnevyism after years of glasnost?
