Tatyana Malkina

Tatyana Malkina is a journalist known for her work in Russian media, particularly during the tumultuous period leading up to the dissolution of the Soviet Union. She gained recognition for her incisive questioning during a press conference held by the State Committee for the State of Emergency (GKChP) in August 1991, where she challenged the legitimacy of the committee's actions and referred to the events as a coup d'état. Her bold inquiries highlighted the confusion and inadequacy of the GKChP leaders during that critical moment in history.
