| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Armen Oganesyan, Editor-in-Chief of International Affairs, advisor to the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation. As in Africa, in the 1960s, colonial empires started crumbling one after another, so today authoritarian regimes in the Arab world, which only recently had seemed quite stable, began to collapse. I would like to recall that the revolutionary wave of demonstrations and uprisings that swept through the Middle East and North Africa and came to be known as the "Arab spring" began in Tunisia on December 18, 2010 following Mohammed Bouazizi's self-immolation in protest against police corruption and brutality. |
