Abstract
The article presents a socio-media analysis of protest moods in the Republic of Belarus in 2020. As part of working with a database collected through IQ Buzz, the author presented the dynamics of protest mentions in social media by main time intervals and cities of the country, the rating of the most popular words, and also showed the role of external forces in influencing the protest moods of Belarusian citizens. The results obtained allow us to consider the process of organizing mass protests through media tools as a technology with its own patterns and features.
