Abstract
The article analyzes the revolutionary events that took place in North Macedonia in 2015–2016. The political crisis did not arise by chance: Macedonian society was fragmented over issues of identity, and the rules of political competition were unequal, creating additional incentives for the opposition to organize protests. Mass anti-government protests led to the resignation of the Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski, who had held his post since 2006, and the calling of the early parliamentary elections in the country, in which the ruling party failed to form a coalition and became the opposition. In addition to the change of government, the revolution also led to a change in the country's identity policy and name, as well as its membership in NATO in 2020.
