Years: 1648 - 1659
Both civil and religious authorities in Poland persecute the Orthodox Church in the aftermath of the Union of Brest, and support the Uniates in their takeover of Orthodox property.

Social conditions deteriorate, a large-scale revolt is waged against Polish landowners in 1648-54 (coinciding with the Khmel'nyts'kyi Rebellion in Ukraine), and many Belorussians flee to the Ukrainian steppes to join the Cossacks.

Little economic development take place in Belorussian lands, and the vast majority of the Belorussian population lives on subsistence agriculture.
