1990 th

In 1990, summer, June 12,
Russia and Soviet republics 
Declared independence from each other.
We had summer holidays, I remember my father was watching TV all day,
He didn't even go to work. 
I watched a bit, all I remember tanks in Moscow, 
On the streets and people trying to lie down under it.
Then my father was calling friends,  they were talking what's going to be.
My mom wasn't interested,  she thought it was some kind of joke.
It wasn't.
It was the end of the Soviet Union,  crash of the economy and my parents marriage, same year. 
We had protest in our city,  all factories were closed, only hospital and police, city government were open that summer...
