We hypothesize that both the historically shaped differences in mental models and strong ties with international protectors of these countries were the main elements that determined the paths of the transformations. We also try to highlight the main differences in the mentality and the contemporary institutional matrix of the two countries. We modify the matrix by adding a new element – an external protector – which is critical, especially regarding these two countries. We use the tools and methods of new institutional economics in our analyses.

The purpose of the article is to identify and analyze the main institutional cycles in the formation of the socioeconomic systems of Belarus. This will help determine the effect of historical dependence on the trajectory of development and allow the identification of the origins of the country's modern institutional matrix. The novelty of the study of institutional cycles and their dynamics lies in its interdisciplinary nature. The author has adopted the theory within New Institutional Economics, particularly the achievements of North, Acemoglu, and Robinson. The research methods include a historical analysis and a comparative analysis.
