Abstract<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 2020 protests in Belarus created a unique socio-political situation for the country that has been described as \u201cthe last dictatorship of Europe\u201d. The civic stance against the authoritarian regime in Belarus has produced a horizontal connection among the participants which, in return, shaped the overall socio-political narratives about national identity and statehood that have dominated the public sphere for almost three decades. Through the eyes of the Belarusian activists and intellectuals living in Poland and Lithuania, this research article explores the bottom-up fusion of ideological contention against the regime and formation of a more politicized society in Belarus.<\/p>\n

Key words: <\/strong>social movements, democratization, national identity, post-socialism, Belarus, authoritarianism<\/p>\n
