The 2022 Ossotia Coup occured on May 6th, 2022, when factions of the Ossotian Federal Defense Forces under Sergei Yugorunov and backed by Beleroskov overthrew the government of Kosheleva Manka. Manka had been in power since 2005, with opposition groups and some foreign governments citing irregularities in elections, but his government was supported by democratic nations like Zamastan, Caspiaa, and Haduastan. Worried about Manka's increasing dependence on nations deemed adversaries of Beleroskov and ACWAC, general Yugorunov commanded his forces to arrest Manka and seize government offices in Tibliskana and Novyska. Following Manka's detaining, riots and a minor insurgency sprung up against the military. By May 15th, the Beleroskov Armed Forces entered Ossotia at Yugorunov's request to quell unrest.
