Image title	FILE Jubilant people step on the head of the statue of Felix Dzerzhinsky, the founder and chief of the Soviet secret police, later known as KGB, responsible for mass arrests and executions, which was toppled in front of the KGB headquarters in Moscow, in this early Friday, Aug. 23, 1991 file photo. 16 years ago, a group of Kremlin conspirators tried to stop U.S.S.R. President Mikhail Gorbachev's reforms and hold the empire together. A robust Boris Yeltsin foiled the coup, rallying democrats from atop a tank. Since then, the Soviet Union has disintegrated into 13 countries, Gorbachev was thrown out of power and Yeltsin was elected the first freely-elected president in Russian history.
