Does protest work in russia?

Travel Info
Any events that have had an effect of Russia, that have come as a result of protest or public concern.

Travel Tips

Are there any events that had any effect on other countries due to protests? The will of the people does not really matter to governments. The only thing I can think of is the 1993 Putch, but that was politically staged. And the October revolution of 1917 which was started by protests and that eventually lead to communism and USSR.
