The article is devoted to the study of the media infrastructure of the protest wave in the Republic of Belarus (hereinafter RB) in December 2019. In order to study the topic, a conceptual apparatus related to the media architecture of citizens' protest activity has been developed and its main constituent elements have been identified. Within the framework of this work, with the help of cybermetry data introduced into scientific circulation in Russian and Belarusian languages, the media infrastructure of the Belarusian protests was analyzed according to the parameters we identified, and the main characteristics of this infrastructure were studied and compared with the socio-economic and cultural-historical features of the Republic of Belarus.
