Abstract

The article examines the current state of historiography of the Color Revolution in Belarus in 2006. The sources are publications of Western and domestic scientists on this topic. The main concepts and approaches of North American, European, Belarusian and Russian specialists are considered, problematic positions in the study of the phenomenon of this Color Revolution in the post-Soviet space and ways to solve them are indicated. In the course of the analysis of scientific articles and monographs, the authors come to the conclusion that at the moment there are still a number of unexplored aspects in the scientific discourse regarding the unsuccessful coup d’etat in the Republic of Belarus, and therefore there is a need for a comprehensive and systematic study of this event.
