145 years continuously (and on and off before then, dating back to Peter The Great), then 74 years under the Soviets. A pretty good chunk of time IMO.

- pound 7y agohttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belarus https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belarus and 'Establishment history' there. 1795-1918 - 123 years. "Soviets" was a union of 15 republics, not one big russia. To your original comment: russia absolutely didn't behave nice on that land at any time in history regardless of who they were at war with.
- m0zg 7y ago1772 to 1917 my man. Russia could not afford to "behave nice" back then. Every 100 years or so some European idiot monarch would hatch a harebrained scheme to attack it, only to get his ass handed to him a few years later. https://www.google.com/search?q=belarus+part+of+russian+empire&oq=belaru&aqs=chrome.0.69i59j0j69i57j0l2j69i61j69i60l2.7519j0j9&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 https://www.google.com/search?q=belarus+part+of+russian+empi...
