Community of Railway Workers of Belarus (Шаблон:Lang-ru) is a Belarusian opposition initiative of railway workers, recognized by the Belarusian authorities as an extremist formation.[1][2]

Telegram channel "Live. The Community of Railway Workers of Belarus" was created in August 2020, a week after the presidential election and the start of mass demonstrations against Alexander Lukashenko.[3]

Since the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the community has been carrying out railroad sabotage in order to undermine the logistics of the Russian army.[3][4][5]

On 21 March 2022, the "Community of Railway Workers was recognized as an extremist formation by a decision taken by the KGB of Belarus on March 21 because "a group of citizens united through the Telegram chat "Community of Railway Workers of Belarus" carries out extremist activities."[6][7][8][9]

As of 30 March 2022, at least 40 railway workers were reportedly detained for subscribing to the movement's telegram channel.[10]
