Yanayev grew up in Gorky Oblast (now Nizhny Novgorod Oblast), where he studied agriculture and law. He joined the [[Communist Party of the Soviet Union]] (CPSU) in his 20s and worked with the Komsomol youth organization before becoming head of the Central Council of Trade Unions. He was later named Politburo secretary in charge of foreign policy, and in December 1990, he unexpectedly received Gorbachev’s support as a compromise choice for the new post of Vice-President. Yanayev was one of those arrested after the abortive three-day coup failed and was convicted of high treason. He was granted amnesty, however, by the Russian legislature in 1994 and released from prison.
