The Belarusian Civil War (Belarusian: Грамадзянская вайна ў Беларусі, Russian: Гражданская война в Белоруссии) is a conflict which occurred from May 2016 to June 2017, resulting in the ousting of President Aleksandr Lukashenko, and the recognition of the Belarusian People's Republic as the legitimate government, which had been in exile since the Soviet takeover in 1919. The Lukashenko administration was initially supported by Russia, Kazakhstan, and China, though the nations withdrew their support after war crimes were committed by the Belarusian Security Committee. Many Russian and Polish volunteers fought for the Belarusian anti-Lukashenko forces throughout the war.
