Abstract

[In Russian]

The article analyses a"ective grounds of political solidarity
shown by Minsk citizens during the protest action of 19 December,
2010. The author’s main thesis is that in order to understand
the social and political situation in Belarus one needs to
start with structural analysis of the prevalent here triple constellation
where the type of power, that is used in practice, is directly
connected with approval of one way of life (which is marked by
the concept of social contract) and denial of the other (which is
indicated through the aesthetic protest of «unsuitable» elements).
