Sure, and Russia had their right-wing coup in 1991, and America is currently doing a self-coup.

    People get these confused a lot, but russia has 2 coups in the 90s-

    1991 was a failed anti-reformist "left wing" coup that deposed Gorbachev and ended with the fall of the USSR and Yeltsin in power.

    1993 was a successful right wing self-coup that allowed Yeltsin to fully consolidate power away from the Russian parliament and towards the presidency. More hamfisted and violent, but in essence similar to what is happening in the US right now

    The US was taken over in a coup when Kennedy was assassinated. We’ve been ruled by the CIA & Mossad ever since.
