This article contains analytical description of events in four Arab countries – Algeria, Sudan, Lebanon and Iraq –in 2019, and partly touching current 2020 year. Mass protests that developed first in Sudan and Algeria and then included also Iraq and Lebanon caused attention of political analysts dealing with problems of the Middle East. One of the central questions being raised in this connection is: whether these events are continuation of the Arab Spring or a new curve in political development of the region? The author undertakes current analysis in order to answer to this question. He tries to take into consideration chronology of the events in an attempt to search political changes that took and still continue to take place during this political process. That gives a possibility both to find that features of the current process that are common with that of the “Arab Spring” and to point out those quite different from the events of 2011.  The events in any of the four countries surely have exclusive specific features connected with concrete type of every political system as well as specific features of each political culture. But at the same time one can observe definite common trends including sharp confrontation of vast segments of society with political elites, a strong will towards democratization, deny of confessional and other divisions, a trend towards common civil national entity. One of the other common features of the current process is the absence of problematic of political Islam in the centre of the agenda. More than that, in many cases we observe a strong opposition of the protesters to any Islamist trends. Anyhow, the process is not finished yet, therefore all the conclusions of the author have are preliminary.
