Kremlin propagandists hailed this programme as a defence of national sovereignty against Western attempts to foment a 'velvet revolution' in Russia. But this book shows that the Putin regime was reacting to a real domestic threat: opposition leaders and youth activists who had begun to employ 'velvet' revolutionary methods in a campaign to harness popular grievances and to challenge Putin in the streets BASEES/Routledge Series on Russian and East European StudiesGovernment, Resistance toRussia (Federation)PreventionCounterinsurgencyRussia (Federation)Opposition (Political science)Russia (Federation)InsurgencyFormer Soviet republicsRussia (Federation)Politics and government1991-Electronic books.Government, Resistance toPrevention.CounterinsurgencyOpposition (Political science)Insurgency947.086/2Horvath Robert1966-847905MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910463017403321Putin's "preventive counter-revolution"1893745UNINA
