Foreword by S.Markov
Moscow, Europe Publishing House, 2006, pp 88
This book is a concise guide to technologies behind «velvet revolutions», technologies of neutralizing the «old» power and exerting «nonviolent» pressure on it. Application of this type of know-how is only possible in countries with democratic regimes, for the benefit of third countries. These are scenarios of «stolen electoral victory», which involve placing stakes on youth. It is all about creating an illusion of widespread support and skillfully using the Internet, followed by TV. It is also about seizing the initiative, the more so that, in a democracy, the authorities have no right to react to non-formal components of opposition activities. The book is a short practical reference guide for a successful counterrevolution, calling upon the authorities and their supporters to act ahead of their adversaries. The underlying concept of this dynamic publication is that, in the present-day world with wide-open access to information, the loss of your own goals always results in their replacement by alien ones.
