Folks

We are marking the tenth anniversary of the Soviet coup attempt,
http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/international/AP-Russia-Coup-Anniversary.htm
l?searchpv=aponline.  Several people in Russia and the west were active on
the Net during the coup attempt, and we captured much of the pertinent email
and news group traffic at the time.

This historical "source data," several paers and articles written at the
time, and other material is available to the curious and to scholars
interested in the role of the Net during a political crisis at
http://www.cs.oswego.edu/~dab/coup/.  (This is an FTP site -- let me know if
you have problems).
