This unique work will be of great interest to those engaged in politics and Russian studies, as well as professionals dealing with Russia.

In the period before the 2007-2008 elections, there was much talk from the regime about the danger of a 'coloured revolution' in Russia. The article considers whether the fear of revolution was genuine or artificially created to discredit opposition and strengthen support for the regime. It seems that tensions inside the regime and the unexpected occurrence of the previous coloured revolutions led to real fears of revolution in Russia, although this was in fact unlikely. Russian policy towards the West and the rival election programmes are examined to investigate whether the regime was creating an 'enemy image' of the West. Adapted from the source document.
