In Kyrgyzstan, the CEC canceled the results of the parliamentary elections.
Thus, the night revolution in Bishkek was crowned with partial success.
The protesters demanded to cancel the election results and hold the elections again, and then, without postponing the matter indefinitely, they stormed the parliament, kicked out the president, released the previous president from prison, and formed a coordinating committee of former prime ministers and ministers.
The President is still in the capital and claims that power is in his hands.
The Kyrgyz are no strangers to revolutions - their coups occur with a Latin American frequency.
At the same time, the deposed president flees - to Russia or Belarus - or ends up in prison.
That is, in Kyrgyzstan, deposed people are not executed, but they are imprisoned if they do not have time to escape.
“This is not a 'color revolution',” all the Kyrgyz comrades tell me.
Revolutions in this country are usually associated with the struggle between the North and South for power in a single republic.
Now the southerners are in power and are pulling the blanket over themselves, and the northerners are rebelling.
There is no ideology there, and there are no liberal democrats in marketable quantities.
And the northerners and southerners cannot think of a way to share power in an honest way.
The elections, they say, were fairly fair and transparent - as far as local tradition allows.
And this tradition does not interfere with bribing voters.
After the votes are counted, the bribed voters go to demolish the bribed authorities.
And not to be bribed, not to take money for your vote - there is no longer enough understanding for this.
In an ideal world, an experienced Russian general would have to be placed at the head of Kyrgyzstan, as in Dagestan.
The Russians, like the British, know how to rule relatively honestly and equidistant from the clans.
A general would rule over them and divide the modest pie of national income between the North and South and the capital in an honest way.
But we live in a post-decolonization world, and such an idea has no chance yet.
The position of Russia is not threatened by changes in Kyrgyzstan - all contenders for power want to remain in close alliance with Russia.
Since the American Manas Air Force base was flooded from there, the strategic partner-enemy has no strong positions in this republic, whose residents earn money by carriage in Moscow and other useful activities in Russia.
They also have their own local crafts - in particular, gold mining.
It was the gold mine that belonged to the Canadians that was plundered in the very first hours of the revolution.
The Kyrgyz are calm people, not violent, akin to the Kazakhs, but they clearly cannot cope with the state structure.
One thing is good - their revolutions are not particularly bloody (so far only one person died during the storming of parliament).
Democracy requires that a person, not a clan, be a unit.
Under the clan structure of society, democracy cannot work.
Yet it is impossible not to notice how many countries are beginning to blaze at the same time.
Belarus, Ukraine, Azerbaijan, Armenia - but not only them.
Thailand and Algeria are raging.
In Israel, popular demonstrations have been boiling for several months, protesters are demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Netanyahu, the police are harshly fighting with believing Jews.
Paris is boiling, where President Macron decided to exacerbate relations with Muslims, whom he himself invited to the country, and now is going to raise the banner of the "right to blasphemy", and clearly anti-Islamic.
England is boiling, where everyone is unhappy with the tough quarantine, except for those for whom the quarantine is not tough enough.
And of course, the United States is facing an explosion, where there are only a few days left before the civil war.

The peoples of the world are on the verge of a nervous breakdown.
The WHO is not the best authority, but they also warned that the nervous health in many countries and cities, in particular, in their opinion, in Moscow, has suffered greatly from the campaign to combat the virus.
We must take this into account and treat each other with particular care, without unnecessary frenzy.
And Kyrgyzstan is another victim of a nervous breakdown.
Russia will provide asylum to yesterday's leaders of the country, if necessary, help with advice.
Since the CEC has decided to hold elections again, it means that this must be done.
If it is necessary to amend the Constitution in such a way as to better take into account the interests of different factors and clans - and this can be done.
The main task facing the Kyrgyz is to avoid a civil war, to try to come to an agreement.
It's hard for everyone now.
