ELI5:Why don't we see riots in Belarus, when there are riots in Ukraine?

The latest riots in mainly Kijev has been triggered by heavy russian influence in the country, and the pinching between Russia and EU. 

This leads me to think: wouldn't that imply, that this dilemma between staying Russia-influenced or moving towards EU would move on to a country like Belarus. It's known as the last dictatorship in EU, and is stuck in a bit of a limbo like Ukraine. I suppose that eventually there will be a heavy pressure to open up towards west, but why aren't there any rumblings in this country? Is it because that the opposition is more oppressed than in Ukraine, or are the people of Belarus keen on staying a gated country and leaving progress behind?

Belarus was already effectively a dictatorship, and the government would never, ever have permitted a protest movement to develop and take over a public square for months. They'd have sent in the military on day one. And everyone living there knows it. 

So there's no protest movement. But hey, the situation was similar in places like Libya, Egypt, etc, so who knows what could happen given time?
