Yes, I'm familiar with the term. Fake democratic revs. US backed , anti-Russian. In Georgia, which one was the so-called "revolution" ? Some of them got into state power , no ? As in Ukraine. Which side in the Georgia dispute is pro-US ?

I was refering to the spate of "colored revolutions" in the former Soviet Union a few years ago, none of which accomplished anything or changed the balance of power. Mainly transfers of power within local business and political elites with the "revolting" sides presenting themselves as "pro-Western liberal democracts" in order to attract legitimacy and money from Brussels and Washington.
