Belarusian nationalism is the Belarusian form of nationalism. The Belarusian People's Republic was established in 1918 and ceased to exist in 1919 with its territories captured by Polish and Bolshevik forces in the Polish-Soviet War, and near the end of the 20th century, the independent Republic of Belarus was proclaimed.[1][2] Today there is a number of organisations with the ideological basis of Belarusian nationalism, including the BPF Party, the CCP BPF, Young Front and the Right Alliance, however since the 2000s, Belarusian nationalism, where nationalists opposed the government of Alexander Lukashenko, has declined with few nationalist organisations currently existing. Lukashenko during his time as president has been described as anti-nationalist. The once prominent nationalist politician, Zianon Paźniak, has been described as authoritarian and radical with his politics blamed as one of the reasons for the defeat of the opposition in the 1990s.[3]
Following the Russian military intervention in Ukraine in 2014, a number of Belarusian nationalists fought with Ukrainian government troops.[4][5][6] The Monument to the Belarusians who died for Ukraine was opened on March 28, 2016 in Kiev, the capital of Ukraine.[7]
