The nationalist movement there was started by the ethnic Polish minority. This was done during the 19th century when the local Poles were trying to split up the Russian Empire and re-establish the Polish Lithuanian Commonwealth.
In fact, Belarusians are a type of Russia. And Belarus is a region of Russia that was conquered by Lithuania and by force, and then by Poland through Polonization. The elites of old Kievan Rus, betrayed the people and became Polish culturally. They controlled the institutions and suppressed authentic Russian/Belarusian culture.

In the long run, Russia won. They reunited all of Russia.
Here's another little secret: More Belarusians revolted against Poland than against Russia. There's this myth that the 1863 January Uprising was a Belarusian uprising. It wasn't. 95% of the combatants were Catholics. It was commanded by Poles. Had Polish written all over it.
The Belarusians revolted against he Commonwealth on like a dozen occasions after the Union of Brest.
Keep posting your Katsap memes. They're winning, Pshek.
You're very creative with your interpretation of a brief message. Using the typical approach of a paid Russian shill, by putting words in the mouth of the opponent. Who the fuck mentioned anything about who's side the Belarusians are on?

It is quite stupid to call the Szlachta all Polish, as many of them had Baltic, Ukrainian, Russian, Belarusian, Hungarian, Austrian, etc. blood too. Nobility marry nobility, and not always from their own country. You should know this, especially when it comes to Russian nobles.
