DISINFO: The US envision a colour revolution in Cuba

SUMMARY

The United States are trying to promote a scenario for a "colour revolution" in Cuba.

RESPONSE

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about Western attempts to organise a colour revolution, this time in Cuba where, since July 11th, citizens have taken to the streets across the country for the first time in more than six decades to protest against deteriorating living conditions and the lack of basic goods and services, including medical attention, amid increasing numbers of COVID-19 infections.

According to pro-Kremlin outlets, protests and civil uprisings are never manifestations of genuine popular discontent and political desires manifested by the population, but are foreign-engineered colour revolutions directed and funded by Western intelligence services or other Western actors, to destabilise targeted foreign states and bring about regime change.

Read similar cases in our database claiming that the West is behind the protests in Belarus, that the Arab Spring was organised by the West, and that Americans and Europeans are orchestrating protests around the world; or that a London-based headquarters organise colour revolutions; or that Colour revolution in Belarus failed, that the West pursues a Maidan policy towards Belarus to encircle Russia.
