People wave flags during a commemoration rally in memory of people who died during Moscow's street clashes in October 1993 following a constitutional crisis, in Moscow, Russia. A Russian constitutional crisis came to a dramatic climax 28 years ago, on October 4, 1993, when President Boris Yeltsin ordered the army to shell Moscow’s parliament building. A stand-off between the then President Boris Yeltsin and the Supreme Soviet legislative body led to fighting around Moscow's TV tower and the White House government building.
