DISINFO: Colour revolutions are used by the West to interfere in the affairs of sovereign states

SUMMARY

Colour revolutions remain the main instrument of the West in interfering in the affairs of sovereign states. Moreover, the methods of their implementation are constantly evolving, requiring continuous updating of countermeasures.

RESPONSE

Conspiracy theory presented without evidence. The message implies that any spontaneous disorders and civil uprisings in other states, especially the former Soviet republics, are West-funded "colour revolutions".

It has been applied, among others, to protests in Ukraine, Venezuela, Georgia, and Belarus, as well as to present a deceiving narrative on the aggressive West constantly preparing new coups.
