Abstract

This article draws on a cross-disciplinary framework to analyse the 2018 ‘Velvet Revolution’ in Armenia and its success in implementing regime change through grassroots resistance. Utilising interview data, we suggest that the success of the Armenian revolution—that is, the relative postrevolutionary democratisation—can be partially explained by the combination of the global trend towards the digitisation of political discourse with the active political role played by the local ‘activist journalists’ within the context of a postsocialist state.
