They made a stand at a bridge over the Moscow River, but they were pushed back. Finally, they made a stand near the Russian Parliament building, but they were overwhelmed. President Boris Yeltsin's forces had ample warning Sunday that a crowd of hard-line demonstrators opposed to his siege of Parliament was scheduled to gather at 2 p.m. and that it planned to march on the "White House," as the Parliament building is known, to charge the barricades and lines of riot police. But police ranks buckled before a mob that swelled to perhaps 7,000 or more, and police used no lethal force to turn back the waves of demonstrators.

Yeltsin, flying into the Kremlin by helicopter early Sunday evening, proclaimed a state of emergency in Moscow and summoned army troops to quell the rebellion, declaring, "We will triumph." At least 24 deaths and hundreds of injuries were reported, and medical authorities reported that Moscow's emergency rooms were overflowing with more than 100 seriously injured people. Many suffered bullet wounds, but others had been hit by stones or run over by vehicles.
