Manoylo, A.V. On counteractions to the color revolutions.

Abstract: The article is devoted to the analysis of the problems related to disassembly of political regimes in the modern states (both authoritarian and democratic) and role of the color revolution technologies in this process, including the possibilities for the counteractions against their destructive influence on the global political process. In this sense systematization and clarification of terminology related to the color revolution is quite important, since it brings clarity into the object of studies, allowing to understand the nature of color revolutions and allowing to find the methods against them. The problems of disassembly of political regimes and related issues of color revolutions in the modern situation become quite topical and actual. The reasons for it are not limited with the fact that the Ukrainian events, once one looks at them closely, repeat the scenarios of color revolutions in the Northern Africa and the Middle East (so-called Arabian Spring), and, more specifically, revolution in Egypt, showing that these events are not purely accidental. The reason is that the traditionally used disassembly instruments in the international community are currently being substituted with a new generation of the more subtle instruments, combining the forceful influences and technologies for the manipulation of the mass conscience and mass behavior of large groups within the civilian population.
