Belarus has all the conditions for a change of power.
The events after 9 August 2020 have become a turning point in the modern history of Belarus. They have irrevocably changed the country. It is high time to sum up the first results of these events, the most important ones. How is this year so fundamentally different from the others?
The differences are fundamental. Today we observe many things that we did not see before.
In one phrase, today Belarus has almost everything to continue existing and even to start developing normally after the inevitable resignation of the previous, outmoded authorities.
It is worthwhile to consider this question in details, as the previous government was outmoded both in the "distant past" and in 2010. What is the difference? However, back then, for example, there were no such clear, more intelligent and effective alternatives. No, there have always been intelligent and forward-thinking people in the opposition, but they missed such organisation and self-organisation. Yes, there were plans for change, but the implementation of those plans was questionable. The old 'power vertical'? Today, everyone can see the incompetence of the old bureaucracy. New, "people's officials". Who are they? They were invisible before. But today they are visible. Above all, today it is more or less clear where one can find them if necessary. Including the ranks of the old "vertical power structure". It is now clear that there are still reasonable professionals. The system has only made them incompetent (as it does to everything that falls on its orbit).
