Arab spring? Yeah it had some pretty bad outcomes in some places (Syria) but go look at the list of outcomes, from total overthrow of a despot, to democratisation of some states, and major government concessions and strengthening of people-power precedents in others.
The Madian revolt in Ukraine resulted in the overthrow of a despotic Russian lackey and move towards proper democracy and European alignment.
