	Lessons of the Tulip Revolution - Carnegie Endowment for International Peace
		For the third time in 18 months seriously flawed elections have brought down the government in a CIS state, and for the first time this has occurred east of the Urals, demonstrating that popular expectations in the Asian states of the former Soviet Union are not appreciably different from those in the European ones.
		If it succeeds, the "tulip revolution" could prove to be the most remarkable of all, causing positive reverberations throughout a region that many had written off as lost from the point of view of building democratic societies.
		The Rose, Orange and Tulip revolutions have changed their perspective, and have given them new incentive to try and plot the downfall of the current regime.

	Sean's Russia Blog: Tulip Revolution Revisited (Site not responding. Last check: )
		I leaning towards thinking that revolutions are called revolutions because some smart ass historian 20-50 years after the event decided that a revolution would fit his narrative and therefore termed the revolt/uprising a revolution.
		As I understand the term revolution, whether applied later by historians or in teh heat of the moment by the actors themselves, revolution signifies the will, perhaps the hope, that the world can be transformed, that things need not be the way they are, that nothing is immutable.
		I would claim that the revolutions were a failure if in the future authorities in Ukraine or Georgia perpetrated electoral fraud and the people were too apathetic and disillusioned to do anything about it.
