Ukraine’s Orange Revolution wasn’t the only time people used colors to challenge corruption and fraud. In this Dad Tangent, we explore the early 2000s wave of “color revolutions” across the post-Soviet world — from Georgia’s roses, to Kyrgyzstan’s tulips, to Ukraine’s bright orange glow.

Think of it as the paint aisle of democracy: roses, oranges,tulips — each one a peaceful but powerful challenge to authoritarian rule. And along the way, you’ll learn why Moscow hated this rainbow of revolutions almost as much as it feared them.
