Ukraine

Arguably, Viktor Yanukovych attempted auto-coups in 2004 (averted by the Orange Revolution) and 2013–14 (averted by the Revolution of Dignity). I recall reading at least one of those described as such, but cannot find a good reference after a brief search. (I found one for “President Viktor Yanukovich of Ukraine, September 30, 2010,”[1] but cannot figure out the significance of the date. Perhaps an error.) —Michael Z. 23:00, 4 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Since Yanukovych wasn't technically in power per se in 2004, I don't think that would count, but if we could cite it I could potentially see the case being made for 2013 to 2014. Jjazz76 (talk) 05:06, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Missing

I think both Julius Cesar and Adolf Hitler fit the descrition 2A00:A040:19E:61E7:C430:BDBB:C474:413F (talk) 09:50, 5 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Adolf Hitler should certainly be listed. His passage of the Enabling Act (March 1933), the hounding from the political scene of all other parties and finally his seizure of the powers of President after Hindenburg's death were different stages of a self-coup lasting from March 1933 to August 1934.

Caesar? More tricky. His naming as dictator looks like a simple coup. SRamzy (talk) 14:18, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Additional information

Putin basically has been governing while ignoring democratic laws ever since he became acting president (suppression of opposition). Erdogan started arresting tens of thousands political opponents immediately following the 2016 Coup d'Etat attempt, and also released judges and public servants who did not agree with him. Regardless of whether the coup was staged by Erdogan himself or forces opposing him, in any case he used it to turn Turkey into an autocracy where anyone can be arrested just for opposing Erdogan. -- Tscherpownik (talk) 14:57, 24 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
