The August Coup was an attempt group of members of the Soviet Union's government briefly deposed Soviet president Gorbachev and attempted to take control of the country. The coup leaders were hardline members of the Communist Party who felt that Gorbachev's reform program had gone too far and that a new union treaty that he had negotiated dispersed too much of the central government's power to the republics. Although the coup collapsed in only three days and Gorbachev returned to power, the event crushed the Soviet leader's hopes that the union could be held together in at least a decentralized form. The SU collapsed a few months later.
So what if there was no coup attempt?
