Color revolutions are technologies for engineering a coup and controlling the political situation in a country, under induced conditions of political instability, with pressure on the government taking the form of political blackmail using youth protest movements.

The model of a color revolution consists of five main stages or phases: Any color revolution starts with the establishment in the country of an organized protest movement — the main driving force of the future color revolution.

During the first stage, prior to starting its overt action, the protest movement is organized in the form of a network consisting of secret cells, each including a leader and three or four active members serving as their liaison officers.

Active members are recruited from among the young people, who are very impulsive and easily moved by flashy slogans and calls to action.

The cells of the network emerge from the underground to the streets of large cities simultaneously and in response to a prearranged signal, which is called an incident. This can be any event that offends the community and causes public outrage.

After the incident takes place, the protest network emerges from the underground to the streets where the active cell members become catalysts of spontaneous mass processes that involve more and more people.

The cells soon start attracting citizens who get involved in the spontaneous protest movement, pushed into it mainly by the fear for their future. The general anxiety leads to the situation when people’s consciousness becomes prone to mass panic and collective hysteria.

The next stage in the color revolution scheme is the creation of a political crowd. The active members lead their protesting electorate to such a "square", where during a many-hours-long meeting all participants merge into a single mass of people.

At this stage, the crowd is influenced with the help of technologies that affect people’s subconscious, instill new values and imperatives, and reprogram the mind.

In the name of the crowd, ultimatum demands are presented to the government, supported by threats of mass riots. If the regime shows determination to fight back, the crowd becomes the main battering-ram used by the creators of the color revolution for attacking the government.

From this point on, such a revolution is invariably transformed into a rebellion, and in certain cases — into a civil war, followed by a military intervention.
