On 8 December 1991 "Gorbachev called it an unconstitutional coup.".
On 25 December 1991, in a nationally-televised speech, "Gorbachev resigned as president of the Soviet Union – or, as he put it, "I hereby discontinue my activities at the post of President of the USSR."[137] He declared the office extinct, and all of its powers (such as control of the nuclear arsenal[138]) were ceded to Yeltsin. A week earlier, Gorbachev had met with Yeltsin and accepted the fait accompli of the Soviet Union's dissolution."
You are claiming thse are two different Mikhail Gorbachevs?
That's without even considering the case of parliaments and leadership of the other former Soviet republics also discussed.
