One of the most popular thought leaders of the Belarusian protest was Russian blogger Maxim Katz. He urged Belarusians to protest longer, but to abstain from any kind of violence. This led the protest to failure and the subsequent harsh crackdown on protesters. In contrast, the similar earlier Ukrainian protest, which became violent, succeeded.
Exactly. Peaceful protest only works against a civilized opponent.
