I wouldn't call it successful yet, but it's definitely getting better:

The Revolution of Dignity (Ukrainian: Революція гідності, romanized: Revoliutsiia hidnosti), also known as the Maidan Revolution or the Ukrainian Revolution,[2] took place in Ukraine in February 2014[a] at the end of the Euromaidan protests.[1] Scores of protesters were killed by government forces during clashes in the capital Kyiv. Parliament then voted to remove President Viktor Yanukovych, return to the 2004 Constitution of Ukraine, and call new elections. The revolution prompted Russia to occupy Crimea, starting the Russo-Ukrainian war.[1][2]

What a shitty victim blaming, kremlin fueled, garbage post.

"Yes we should become slaves because if we fight back the bad person will hit us"

Fix that post.

Wasn't the point to get rid of Yushchenko and have a new election, so they could rely/orient to Europe more?.... Seems like that's happened.

They're in a war because of it though. If that's the best example of it "working," I don't think it's great. They're not a huge country like the US either. A civil war would be bad, I think we can agree on that.

You're arguing in a comments section. Was that the goal of your rebellion? Are you to blame for the others replying to you?

Were the protesters to blame for Russia's response?

No. Everyone is responsible for their own actions. The protest achieved it's goals, and since then Russia has invaded.

Russia's actions are because of Putin, not because the protests failed.

I guess that means the American Revolution didn't work either because we just wound up at war with Britain
