The necessity to rethink modes of political participation having to adjust to the repressive state apparatus has been common for social organizing in Belarus in previous years
I would state that 2020–21 uprising in Belarus highlighted that this fluidity of protest techniques is not a sign of weakness or defeat of the resistance, but rather, its significant quality which brings new possibilities and agency.
