= 2020-21 Coup Attempt in the United States = The ideia that Donald Trump's and his supporters' attempts to overturn the 2020 American Election constituted a coup d'etat has been held by many security officials, journalists, analysts,     as well as the January 6 comission. Among those who affirm a coup, there is debate on wether the Capitol Attack was itself a coup, or rather the culmination of one. ELABORATE

There are also views that the events of 2020-21 did not constitute a coup, but rather sedition, because there was no involvement of the military.

As of 2022, there is discussion on wether another coup d'etat could happen, and possibly succeed. A late 2021 poll found that 40% of americans believe a military coup would be justified in certain circunstances, with 31% of democrats and 54% of republicans agreeing. There are those who argue a coup is already happening, through the judiciary, as exposed by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Others say fears of a coup is overblown, and should be treated with caution.

Possibility of another coup
Certain Trump supporters such as Michael Flynn have openly supported the idea of a coup, stating that a Myanmar-like situation "should happen here". A former Pence adviser claimed Trump will try a coup in 2024. EXPAND LATER Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has argued that CONTINUE

ADD SOMEWHERE?

The Stockholm-based International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance in 2021, added the United States, for the first time in history, to a list of “backsliding democracies", arguing that "A historic turning point came in 2020-21 when former president Donald Trump questioned the legitimacy of the 2020 election results in the United States".

JUSTIFICATION:
I created this page with the intention of it housing the debate of wheter or not the Capitol Invasion and the election Overturning attempts were a coup, what type of coup it was, who was responsible, the punishment of those involved, the possibility of it repeating, what were its consequences on the american public, as well as America's reputation on the rest of the world. Yes, there are sections of the "Capitol Attack" and the "Attempts to overturn the 2020 election" pages that deal with the subject. But they're a fraction of their articles that treat an enormously important subject on relatively small sections. Much before the 1/6 comission description of the event as a coup, the discussion about it was a heated topic of politics in the entire US. With that in mind there is, in my view, no reason to keep it fragmented in various pages, with no central article on the subject.

Nikolai Likhachev, also known by his pseudonym Andrei Svetlanin, was a major in the soviet army.

= Valentin Astrov = Valentin Nikolaevich Astrov (August 1,1898 - July 15, 1993) was a soviet politician, writer and journalist who was involved in the right opposition and was a member of the Writers Union. He was one of the few followers of Nikolai Bukharin who survived the Great Purge.

Life
Astrov studied at the Penza school. In 1915 he was expelled from the graduating class for revolutionary activities: he was one of the organizers of student circles and the release of revolutionary publications). Since November 1917, Astrov has been editing the newspaper Izvestia, in 1919-1922 he was the editor of the Rabochy Put newspaper. In 1923 he wrote the work: "Economists", forerunners of the Mensheviks. He Graduated from the Institute of Red Professors in 1926. After his graduation, he conducted pedagogical and research work. From 1924 to 1929 he was a member of the editorial board of the Bolshevik magazine, and from 1927 to 1928 he was a member of the Pravda newspaper. He was a member of the "young Bukharinites" group. Astrov wrote the article "To the Present Moment" in 1928 which criticized, in his words, the desire to provoke the party into a clash with the peasantry, and to abandon the development of an individual peasant economy. In 1929, he was accused of opposing the policy of the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party (Bolsheviks) and then removed from work in the party press and dismissed from the Institute of Red Professors.

At the beginning of 1933 he was arrested together with other members of the "Bukharin school". During the investigation, he gave testimony against his teacher, saying that Bukharin was conspiring against Stalin. He repeated the testimonies in 1937 after Bukharin's arrest, including during a confrontation in the presence of Stalin, for which, apparently, his life was spared. In 1937, Astrov was released on Stalin's personal order. His testimonies have been describe as "slanderous". He later is a participated in World War Two. In 1949 he was sentenced to 25 years in labor camps; released and rehabilitated in 1956. He lived in Moscow. He is the author of the autobiographical trilogy: Lights Ahead (1958), Krucha (1961) and The Outgoing Generation (1989).
