Abstract. The current President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko won a convincing victory in the 2025 presidential elections. 86.82% of voters voted for his candidacy. The election campaign of 2025 has become the most peaceful in the history of the presidential elections in the Republic of Belarus. Commenting on the results of the vote, observers note that its results indicate the lack of demand for a revolutionary scenario of elite change on the part of the Belarusian civil society. Thus, by voting for A. Lukashenko, the citizens of the republic confirmed their agreement with the state policy pursued by him.
