Abstract
Aim and tasks. To identify patterns and stages of formation of the Union State as a fundamentally new integration association in the Eurasian space.
Methods. System analysis of integration processes and synergistic effect of interaction and cooperation in the economic and socio-political spheres.
Results. The main aspects of life of the Belarusian state and society in the post-Soviet period: development of the political system, economic reforms, policy in the sphere of culture, language, national relations and historical memory, foreign policy. The position is substantiated that, despite many positive changes over a quarter of a century, the need to improve the political form of the Union State and the legal model of Russian-Belarusian cooperation is not removed from the agenda. Special relations between the leadership of the countries and their broadest popular support ensure the sustainability of integration, but the level of operational management at the level of departments and territories needs to be improved.
Conclusions. Russia and Belarus in their integration interaction have created a new type of supranational state in the Eurasian space with its inherent confederative and federal features.
