Color revolutions in the post-Soviet space were characterized by a high level of public participation and funding from external sources. Despite the important role of international actors, the key factors in the success of color revolutions were internal factors. The present article analyzes the mobilization of youth movements. The actions taken by these movements were an important impetus for the activation of the social claims. Their goal was to disclose the facts of electoral fraud, the formation of a sense of citizenship, to promote the union of various social groups, and, finally, the preparation for protest activity.
Целью данной работы являлся анализ отдельных аспектов этноисторических мифов в республиках Центральной Азии. Они касались модульных структур, понимающих нацию как этническую общность. Эти структуры образовывались повествованиями о происхождении нации, основании государства и его «золотом веке». Проанализированные в статье мифы не только объясняли неизбежный распад СССР и появление независимых государств в регионе, но и играли важную роль в обосновании авторитарных форм правления. Таким образом, определяемая властями культура, обычаи и национальные ценности должны были способствовать формированию соответствующего административно-правового порядка.

The purpose of this paper was to analyze selected aspects of the myths of the past in the republics of Central Asia. They constructed the model which understood the nation as an ethnic community. They formed a narrative about the origins of the nation, the state and the period of " golden age." These myths not only claimed the inevitability of the USSR collapse and emergence of independent states in the region, but played an important role in the justification of authoritarian rule. Mythical assumptions pertaining to culture, customs and national values were designed to foster simultaneously the creation of appropriate administrative and legal order.
