"Tangerine Revolution" term for use in Kaliningrad

[edit]

I watched a video on Kaliningrad that referenced 2010 anti-government protests as the "Tangerine Revolution" against former Governor Georgy Boos and Russian government policies. When I came to Wikipedia to learn more I was surprised to get re-directed to an article about the 2004 Abkhazian presidential election. Might this be changed to a disambiguation article between the two topics? Or should this be an "other uses" hatnote on the Abkhazian article?

The article on Russian Wikipedia makes references to the tangerines, but the word "revolution" doesn't seem to be present. The English Wikipedia section on the protests (Politics of Kaliningrad Oblast#Social unrest in 2009-2010) does not currently reference tangerines, however nor does the current article section for the redirect (2004 Abkhazian presidential election#Aftermath).

Googling "tangerine revolution AND Kaliningrad" yields about 10,600 results and "tangerine revolution and Abkhazia" about 14,000 results, when adding quotations around Tangerine Revolution the number lowers to 5 and 10 results respectfully. Seems neither term is super widespread in the English language so not much to point to redirect to one over the other. One reference on the article when run through Google Translate does seem to refer to the protests as the "Tangerine Spring", so I am curious to know if the term is in somewhat widespread use in Russian, Georgia, or Abkhaz languages.
