Modern Russian history is fascinating in this regard. In just the last hundred years (the Tsar was deposed in March 1917) they've moved from oligarchy to communism, revolution, blood shed, fanaticism, rebellion, the (relatively peaceful) breakup of an Empire, a total wealth reset, and are now back to oligarchy again.
