The article explores the Byelorussian imperial discourse. It appeared in the early 90s of the twentieth century, but got no further development. In the 2010s, that discourse was revived, but also failed to gain a foothold in the minds of the intellectuals. The Byelorussian imperial project is not viable, because the country does not have the necessary resources. It is not advantageous for Russia to create a joint Russian-Byelorussian imperial project, since Moscow, not Minsk, will be spending the main resources. The Byelorussian imperial discourse was gradually replaced by the Eurasian one.
