Trends in the implementation of color revolution technologies in the territory of the Russian Federation and legal measures to prevent them

The purpose of the research. Today, the relevance of studying the topic of color revolutions is due to the fact that, having failed to secure victory in a proxy war, the West is seeking ways and methods to force Russia to submit to its dictates and return our country to the chaos of the 1990s, when much of the former USSR's economic potential was plundered and foreign companies operated unchecked in the post-Soviet space. These challenges require an in-depth analysis of their mechanisms, the development of a clear legal framework, and coordination of actions not only by all state authorities but also by civil society. Conclusions. The conclusions of the study confirm the significance of researching the technology of color revolutions, which currently, according to the authors, represent one of the key threats to the public security of the Russian Federation. At the same time, the use of this technology is multi-faceted, due to its high level of sophistication, complex structure, and multi-stage nature. Nevertheless, our state's arsenal has all the means to counter this technology.
