Abstract
With the economic collapse of the former Soviet Union, Belarus was faced with new political and economic realities. In the two decades since, these new realities have also impacted other aspects on Belarusian's day-to-day lives, including their societal values and attitudes. Utilizing primary data collected from in-depth interviews, focus groups, and participant observation, along with secondary data analysis of multiple waves of the World Values Survey, this research brief and overview proposes a research agenda to examine and explore the political, economic, and social transformations in post-Soviet Belarus from 1990-2012 and these impacts on societal and work values and attitudes.
