The Communist Party of Belarus is a political party in Belarus that advocates for communist principles and ideologies. Founded in 1996, it aims to promote socialism and the interests of the working class. The party has faced challenges in a political environment dominated by the government of President Alexander Lukashenko, who has been in power since 1994. The party participates in elections and engages in various social and political activities, although it has limited influence due to state repression and restrictions on political opposition. It is part of the broader Communist Party movement in the region, which seeks to revive socialist ideals.
