Colour Revolutions as a way of Western Prepotence Evgeny Grachikov, Senior Researcher, Lomonosov Moscow State University Events that took place in 21st century in a number of countries in Central Asia, North Africa and the Middle East, were called «Colour revolution». These events are not accidental or spontaneous protest of "dream of democracy", but a consequence of the implementation of specific Western projects on a change of the global power. The methods and technologies for the implementation of such projects include the cultural domination and "Colour revolutions" (CR), depending on the situation served as an "orange", "tulip", "jasmine" and so on. The CR usually refers to the process of regime change under the pressure of massive street protests and financed with the support of foreign NGOs. In political reality of many countries, it is a coup d'etat carried out using mainly methods of non-violent political struggle, the forces of "protest" movement, usually in the interest and direct dominant participation in the planning, organization and funding on the part of the USA, a group of Western states, so called public or commercial organizations. The development of CR process takes place in a "non-violent" "interception of power" from the government that does not dare to use this power, or stops before use legitimate, but relatively mass violence (dispersal of unauthorized demonstrations, protest marches, and so on). For the specifics of the CR also include the establishment, using the techniques of network marketing, no head movements and using advertising management to establish giant parties, covering a significant number of protest electorate of all spectra. These were the movement "Repulse" (Serbia), "Sksel", "Beckum" (Armenia), "Kmara" (Georgia), "April 6 Movement" (Egypt), and "Movement-31", "Strategy-31", "Solidarity" or "League of Voters" in contemporary Russia. CR initiated in areas which fall within the orbit of the interests of the leading players of the global system. These states are the periphery of the West. Therefore, it is confrontation between West and Non-West.
