Total politicization of the population took place in Belarus.
The main results of 2020 were the birth of the Belarusian political nation and the creation of a situation in which the Belarusian political model s collapse became a matter of the near future. This situation has developed thanks to the four main mistakes of Aliaksandr Lukashenka; each of them widened the gap between society and the authorities and awakened the political consciousness of Belarusians.
Nobody predicted that 2020 in Belarus could become a year of historical events: it was expected that the current elections would be the calmest and least interesting in the country s history. Moreover, they took place in the year of the coronavirus pandemic, which, according to most experts, should have been an additional factor in demobilization. However, contrary to these forecasts, it was the coronavirus that became the first impetus for the awakening of society.
