Abstract: Abstract Filin analyzes the Green Movement political crisis in the Islamic Republic of Iran in 2009. The scope of research includes the protests’ course from 2009 through early 2010; their structure, the myths surrounding the protests, their visual content, and the slogans of the protest movement; the social and economic reasons that led to acts of rebellion in 2009, as well as the external influence; and how the power structure of the Islamic Republic of Iran formed the backbone of the “Green Movement’s” opponents, as well as the Iranian authorities’ actions to stifle the opposition. This chapter identifies and describes the factors that did not allow the 2009 Iranian protest to change the political regime in the country, producing a different outcome than that in the Arab countries during the 2011 Arab Spring events.
