Abstract
In the article, the author analyzes the activities of the Belarusian opposition abroad, focusing on its pro-Western orientation and nationalist ideology. The article examines the genesis of Belarusian nationalism as the basis for opposition activities, highlights its Russophobic nature and opposition to integration with Russia. It is emphasized that the political crisis of 2020 had an impact on the Belarusian diasporas, intensifying their participation in solidarity actions, but there are no mass politically active organizations in the diaspora.
