Tło aksjologiczne protestów 2020 roku i powyborczego kryzysu politycznego na Białorusi

Abstract

The pro-democratic mobilization of Belarusians in 2020 does not fit in with the pattern typical of the region, where democratization was accompanied by an increase in pro-Western attitudes. Before the outbreak of the protests, in the course of their duration, and after their cessation, pro-Russian attitudes have prevailed over pro-European ones. Besides, Belarusians have a problematic national identity, an ambivalent attitude towards emancipatory values and are still attached to the attributes of the Soviet era. Such a configuration of values did not prevent the formation of a strong demand for democracy. However, it may significantly hinder the process of system transformation towards democracy.
