Russian history, which you are apparently ignorant of, dictates that an unsuccessful military coup leader is executed. Always! The KGB thug leaders that I am familiar with in Russian history would have all demanded execution. Nyet, in both cases today. 20 years was the threatened max sentence for military treachery in a battle zone and a military attack on the state during war?!? Then poof!, nothing. Yeah, nothing fishy here.

Ignorance = "lack of knowledge or information."

Point of Evidence:



The 1991 Soviet coup d'état attempt, also known as the August Coup,[a] was a failed attempt by hardliners of the Soviet Union's Communist Party to forcibly seize control of the country from Mikhail Gorbachev, who was Soviet President and General Secretary of the Communist Party at the time. ...

Trial of GKChP members The GKChP members and their accomplices were charged with treason in the form of a conspiracy aimed at capturing power. However, by January 1993, they had all been released from custody pending trial.[102][103] The trial in the Military Chamber of the Russian Supreme Court began on 14 April 1993.[104] On 23 February 1994, the State Duma declared amnesty for all GKChP members and their accomplices, along with the participants of the October 1993 crisis.[105] They all accepted the amnesty, except for General Varennikov, who demanded the continuation of the trial and who was finally acquitted on 11 August 1994.[32] The Russian Procuracy also wanted to charge former Deputy Defense Minister Vladislav Achalov, but the Russian Supreme Soviet refused to lift his immunity.[23] Additionally, the Procuracy refrained from charging numerous other individuals accused of complicity in the coup, including the Army Chief of Staff.
