@PerceivedREALITY999 Russia has ben involved in many coups, here are a FEW!
Russian Empire
1741: Elizabeth Petrovna overthrows her infant cousin Ivan VI of Russia and his mother Anna Leopoldovna.
1762: A coup by Catherine the Great forced the abdication of Peter III of Russia.
December 1825: Decembrist revolt attempted to depose Tsar Nicholas I of Russia in favor of his brother, Grand Duke Konstantin by military coup.
March 15, 1917: Tsar Nicholas II of Russia is forced to abdicate in favor of the Russian Provisional Government, ending the Romanov dynasty.
Revolutionary Russia
September 1917: Lavr Kornilov attempts to march into Petrograd, overthrow the Provisional Government, dissolve the Petrograd Soviet and possibly establish a military dictatorship after being appointed Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Army by Alexander Kerensky. The coup failed because of a lack of support and mass resistance, but it eroded the Provisional Government's legitimacy and revived the Bolsheviks. It also resulted in the provisional government formally abolishing the Russian monarchy and proclaiming the Russian Republic.
November 7, 1917: The Bolshevik faction of the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party led by Vladimir Lenin overthrows the Russian Provisional Government and forms the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic, leading to the Russian Civil War and the formation of the Soviet Union.
Summer of 1918: Ambassadors' plot, failed attempt by Sidney Reilly et al. to remove the Bolsheviks from power.
Soviet Union
June 1957: the "Anti-Party Group" tries unsuccessfully to remove Nikita Khrushchev from power
13 October 1964: Nikita Khrushchev is forced to resign, handing the power to Leonid Brezhnev
August 19 to 21, 1991: A group of Soviet Communist Party hardliners form the State Committee on the State of Emergency and attempt to overthrow President Mikhail Gorbachev in order to reverse his reforms; the coup is suppressed by RSFSR President Boris Yeltsin, weakening the Communist Party's authority and accelerating the dissolution of the Soviet Union.
Russian Federation
September 21 to October 4, 1993: Russian President Boris Yeltsin, aided by the Russian Armed Forces, extralegally dissolved the Supreme Soviet and suspended the constitution in response to impeachment proceedings against him.
