Tło aksjologiczne protestów 2020 roku i powyborczego kryzysu politycznego na Białorusi
Axiological background of the protests in 2020 and the post-election political crisis in Belarus

Summary/Abstract: The pro-democratic mobilization of Belarusians in 2020 does not fitin with the pattern typical of the region, where democratization was accom- panied by an increase in pro-Western attitudes. Before the outbreak of theprotests, in the course of their duration, and after their cessation, pro-Russianattitudes have prevailed over pro-European ones. Besides, Belarusians havea problematic national identity, an ambivalent attitude towards emancipatoryvalues 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 fordemocracy. However, it may significantly hinder the process of system transformation towards democracy.
