@Estonia:
1993 wasn't a revolution, but a region's attemted to get autonomy by holding a referendum. It was called unconstitutional by the government and the result was that no autonomy was granted and thanks to the government representative negotiations with the referendum organizers, no protests erupted.

2007 wasn't a coup, but a riot that consisted of breaking stuff and looting (similar what you see in France sometimes for example). The reason for that was the Estonian governments decision to relocate the old communist statue from the centre of the city to a graveyard 2km away. There was no attacks by the protesters to the government buildings so can't really call it a coup.

But both of those events definitely had connection to Russia
EDIT: Interesting fact: 2007 cyberattacks on Estonia are considered the first ever wide scale this type of attack on country's IT infrastructure by another country. Thanks to that Estonia now hosts NATO cybersecurity defence centre.
