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

The so-called ‘color revolutions’ have clearly produced an academic trend of portraying opposition and civil society, in the post-Soviet sphere, as ‘successful’ or ‘failed’ depending on the outcome of popular protests against authoritarian regimes. In the countries where popular upheavals are considered as ‘failed’, the academic interest has shifted more into elaboration of ‘authoritarian stability’, rather than focusing on the resistance itself. But how pro-democratic civil society continues to survive under adverse conditions, after ‘failed’ attempts to prevent authoritarian consolidation? With a major focus on the very existence of the resistance, rather than outcome, this research investigates the unique structure and strategies implemented by civil society, to stay in the severely restricted public space and produce an alternative public discourse in Belarus and Azerbaijan.<\/p>\n

Key Words: <\/strong>civil society, resistance, opposition, authoritarianism, contentious politics, democratization<\/p>\n
