In 1917, there were two revolutions in Russia with the first in February and the second in October. The Bolsheviks took charge after the Tsar had been overthrown by those who rebelled for freedom.
The way I understand it, the same happened in Iran in 1978-79 too with a democratic revolution first than an Islamist movement piggy-backing the first one to launch a second one afterwards.

Where and when else did this happen? Post 1900, of course.
Where else could it have happened too? One revolution of people power and then a select group of hardliners moving in afterwards to launch a second revolution when a strong internal control over a state was taken down leaving it open.
