WI: Yeltsin was Impeached on March 28th 1993?

[omnimercurial]

What would be the consequences of such an outcome? Would Yeltsin still try to deploy military force like he did OTL when he avoided impeachment? If he did try to use the Military, Would they even listen to him if he was impeached? Would the Supreme Soviet survive this&remain the highest legislative body? Could Shock Therapy be thwarted? What would be the long term effects of this both internally&internationaly?

Would there be repercussions for Gorbachev as a result of these events transpiring? Would he be seen as the cause of Yeltsins misdeeds being allowed to reach fruition? Any thoughts?

Well my knowledge of this era is slim, but Yeltsin's main opponent was his vice president Alexander Rutskoy im not sure of his policies but he would have preserved the Supreme Soviet as it was backing his attempt at removing Yeltsin. If you want someone in power that would take a radical turn away from Yeltsin style reforms Gennady Zyuganov is the forerunner. He was close to beating Yeltsin in 1996 and might have been popular enough to take over earlier if we ignore Rutskoy. Zyuganov was a bit of a hardliner advocating a return to the old ways and better yet he has been the main opposition in Russia for a while so all his points of view of future Russian crisises are pretty much known.
