On September 12, 1993, Yeltsin summoned his closest colleagues - Defense Minister Grachev, Interior Minister Yelin, Acting Security Minister Golushko and Foreign Minister Kozyrev .

The men listened carefully to Yeltsin's order to dissolve parliament, and after a brief silence, everyone expressed full agreement.

So Yeltsin decided to address the national micro-TV at 8 a.m. on September 19. The armed forces will take control of the Parliament Building that day. Since that day is Sunday, the Parliament Building will be empty, which will facilitate the armed forces to seize the piles of weapons there. As long as the weapons are taken away, it is equivalent to taking away the members of Parliament. "Salary from the bottom of the cauldron", they will only be left with a mouth that screams.

Just two days before this crucial date, those with access to Yeltsin put pressure on him to postpone his televised address. At the same time, the contents of his speech were leaked, and Khasbulatov learned that Yeltsin would announce a decree to dissolve parliament on Sunday.
