Białoruś wobec pandemii COVID-19. Praktyka i realia
Belarus and the COVID-19 Pandemic. Practice and Reality

Summary/Abstract: The article’s aim is to present the approaches of the authorities of the Republic of Belarus toward the COVID-19 pandemic. The main research hypothesis is that Belarus decided to consciously ignore the emerging epidemiological threat from the beginning of the pandemic by adopting a strategy of appeasing the society and downplaying the global danger. Based on the data analysis, it has been proved that most Belarusians during the COVID-19 pandemic completely lost their trust in the state and its authorities, which in their opinion turned out to be unable to protect their citizens against the negative (health, economic) effects of the pandemic.
