Abstract:
This study explores the peculiarities of the mass democracy movement in Belarus,
particularly domestic and foreign mechanisms that opposition, protesters and other
representatives of the Belarusian democracy movement utilize to endure under the repressive
government of President Alyaksandr Lukashenka. I demonstrate that by gradually shifting their
resistance strategies and embracing extensive foreign political-financial support, the
democracy movement in Belarus has been able to withstand substantial domestic pressure and
continue to operate under harsh autocratic settings.
