Between 2020 and 2023, the number of Belarusian citizens migrating to Poland rose significantly. While most Poles view this immigrant group favorably, there are instances in which Belarusians encounter dislike, prejudice or discrimination. This analysis—based on data from opinion polls, research reports and selected media texts—aims to identify the phenomenon of discrimination resulting from shifting attitudes toward Belarusians. Answers were sought to the following questions: What factors underlie aversion and discriminatory attitudes? Which Belarusian citizens in Poland are most vulnerable to such experiences? And in what areas of life? The discussion of the findings draws on the concepts of intersectionality and vulnerability.
