Childhood and youth
The President of Belarus first saw the light of day on August 30, 1954 in the village. Kopys, Belarus.
Alexander's mother worked as a milkmaid. All that is known about my father is that he was a lumberjack and did not live with his family.
Lukashenko spent his childhood in the village of Alexandria. He attended a local school, then entered the history department of the Mogilev Pedagogical Institute. In 1975 he graduated from university and became a history teacher. Assigned to the city of Shklov. Soon he was drafted into the army to join the KGB border troops.
Alexander Lukashenko during his military service
After the army, the future President of Belarus Lukashenko received a position that radically influenced his future biography. He became secretary of the Komsomol committee in the Mogilev Gorpishchetorg.
He soon became a member of the CPSU, and in 1980 he re-enlisted in the army.
Upon his return from the army, Lukashenko was appointed deputy chairman of the collective farm in the city of Shklov.
A few years later, Alexander Grigorievich received a second higher education, this time in the field of economics. At the same time, Lukashenko headed the Gorodets state farm. It was this activity that served as a good foundation for a future political career. Thanks to Lukashenko’s idea of a rental contract, in a fairly short period of time, an unprofitable state farm turned into a successful one.
Height, weight, age. How old is Alexander Lukashenko
Almost every citizen of the country wants to know as much information as possible about their President. He must understand who was entrusted to govern the state. Many people are also interested in external, physical parameters, including height, weight, age. Probably every Belarusian knows how old Alexander Lukashenko is.
Alexander Lukashenko cannot be called a short person; his height is 190 centimeters. Alexander Lukashenko weighs about 92 kilograms.
At almost 62 years old, Alexander Lukashenko looks very good. Playing hockey helps keep yourself in good shape. It is safe to say that Alexander Lukashenko is in good health. Photos in his youth and now, for comparison, show that he always looked fit and athletic. The President of the Republic of Belarus notes that if it were not for sports, then constant problems at work, nerves and tension would have destroyed his heart.
Career politician
Successful work as the head of a state farm opened up good prospects for Lukashenko in the field of politics. His merits and attitude to the matter were highly appreciated by the leadership of the Soviet Union - Alexander Grigorievich was invited to Moscow, after which he became a people's deputy.
The man clearly understood how to win people's trust. Lukashenko has successfully built a reputation for himself as a defender of the people and fights corruption.
Despite the difficulties, Lukashenko was still able to get to power. This was facilitated, first of all, by his active work as a “whistleblower.” It was she who made Alexander Grigorievich the most popular politician in the country at that time.
Inauguration of President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko
Lukashenko gradually began to implement plans to nominate his candidacy for the presidency of Belarus. Because of this, some of his comrades “broke away” and went into opposition. It is curious that for many political figures, separation from Lukashenko’s team ended in the end of their careers. Only a few were able to stay afloat in the upper echelons of power.
As for Alexander Grigorievich’s election campaign, it was based on the thesis “saving an economy that is on the brink of disaster.” The future president promised the people that:
- inflation will decrease;
- corruption will be defeated;
- the population will be protected from poverty;
- Close relations will be established with Russia and other countries of the former USSR.
As a result, more than 80% of Belarusian citizens supported Lukashenko's candidacy in the 1994 presidential elections.
Having come to the post of head of state, Alexander Grigorievich immediately began to implement his plan to bring Belarus out of the economic crisis.
Alexander Lukashenko about Ukraine and Crimea
The politician’s speeches are often quoted by Belarusian and foreign media. Many foreign citizens have long been quoting Lukashenko’s speeches, trying to interpret the meaning of his messages in different ways. Voters are especially interested in his opinion on specific events, as well as the future development of relations with neighboring countries - Ukraine and Russia.
In 2014, the President of Belarus repeatedly commented on the situation that had developed in Ukraine. Lukashenko called the political situation in the country “a nightmare and a disaster.”
Alexander Lukashenko and Viktor Yanukovych
Lukashenko on events in Ukraine:
“What is happening in Ukraine is a nightmare, it is a disaster. This is none of my business, they will sort it out without me, they will ask me - I will say “yes” or “no”, whether I will help or not. If those who are smashing things take power in these presidential elections, this will last for a long time.”
According to the head of the Belarusian state, ex-President of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych is primarily to blame for such terrible consequences, since it was the leader of the nation who was responsible for all the processes that took place in the country, rejecting the opinions of different segments of the population.
Lukashenko spoke even more harshly about Crimea. At a meeting with media representatives, he repeatedly noted that he often discussed this problem with representatives of the top Ukrainian leadership. According to the head of Belarus, in 2014, at a meeting with the acting President of Ukraine Alexander Turchynov, he directly expressed his opinion, saying that one must fight for one’s land, and the Ukrainian authorities actually ignored the current circumstances.
“If this is your land, then why didn’t you fight for it? Moreover, there were many Ukrainian troops there. Why didn't they fight? What, they admitted that this is not your land?” the Belarusian leader noted.
What is known about his wife Galina Zhelnerovich
At the moment, Galina Rodionovna Lukashenko (Zhelnerovich before her marriage) lives in a country house in the village of Ryzhkovichi.
In 2005, the wife of Alexander Grigorievich gave an interview to one of the central newspapers of Belarus. Journalists asked Galina Rodionovna a rather piquant question - why she lives separately from her husband. To this the woman replied: “I chose this life on my own.” On the contrary, the wife of ex-President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko, Marina, often accompanied her husband at public events.
Galina met Alexander at school.
According to his wife: “Sasha was a very handsome young man, he was often the host of holidays at school, all the girls were in love with him.”
Zhelnerovich also recalled some details of her personal life, in particular, the romantic dates that Lukashenko arranged for her: “He walked 4 kilometers to get to me, and in any weather. We walked a lot, mainly around my house. We read a lot of interesting books.”
Wedding with Galina Zhelnerovich
The romantic relationship lasted for more than a year. After graduating from the Faculty of History, Lukashenko and Zhelnerovich entered into an official marriage, and only then did they begin to live together. Galina explains that at that time it was impossible to even think about living together before marriage. Soon the couple had a child.
School
Nikolai Aleksandrovich Lukashenko went to school in 2011. He was 7 years old at that time. However, in Belarus it is more common to send children to school from the age of six. The media had many options, but on September 1, the boy went to study at a rural (but with two swimming pools) school in the town of Ostroshitsky.
In 2020, Nikolai Lukashenko (photos of the son of the Belarusian President are presented in the article) himself told a journalist about his studies. He sits at the third desk with his neighbor Ksyusha. My favorite subject is geography.
Sons – Dmitry, Victor and Nikolay
Lukashenko has three sons; photos of them together can rarely be seen in the media. The eldest is a member of the Security Council, assistant to the president for internal security affairs. The middle one is the head of the presidential sports club, and the youngest is an illegitimate son who studies at school.
Alexander Lukashenko with his sons
Alexander Grigorievich has repeatedly stated that in order to understand how difficult it is to be a president, you need to become one. And he wouldn’t wish such a heavy burden on anyone. To confirm his words, in a recent interview, he said that none of his sons wants to be the head of state in the future.
Son of Alexander Lukashenko - Dmitry Lukashenko
Our hero became a father for the second time in the 80th year of the last century. They decided to name the boy Dmitry. Since childhood, the son of Alexander Lukashenko, Dmitry Lukashenko, has been involved in sports.
At the beginning of the new millennium, a man runs the state-public association “Sports Club”. He advises his father what to change for the better in the lives of Belarusian athletes.

Dmitry is happily married. He and his wife are raising three children: Anastasia, Daria and Alexandra.
The role of personal doctor Irina Abelskaya in Lukashenko’s life
Almost immediately after the presidential elections, the head of state instructed his assistants to find a personal doctor for him. The candidacy for the president was presented very quickly - 29-year-old native of Brest Irina Abelskaya became Alexander Grigorievich’s personal physician.
The young and attractive Abelskaya became Lukashenko’s constant accompaniment at almost all of his meetings and even during vacations.
Rumor has it that during the visit of the head of Belarus to France in 2001, he contributed to the eviction of the Minister of Foreign Affairs from the next room so that Abelskaya would be next to him.
In the early 2000s, Irina became the head of the UDP hospital, and her mother became the country's Minister of Health.
The president did not advertise his relationship with Abelskaya, but in 2004 Irina gave birth to a son, who was named Nikolai. At first the boy was not advertised, but after some time the president began to appear in public with Kolya.
It is curious that the man never officially stated who exactly Nikolai’s mother is. However, looking at the boy, it immediately becomes clear that he is incredibly similar to Irina Abelskaya. However, you can’t find a joint photo of Alexander Lukashenko’s son Nikolai and Irina on the Internet. According to press reports, Russian Defense Minister Shoigu Sergei Kuzhugetovich also has an illegitimate child.
After the birth of the child, the situation changed. In 2007, Irina was fired from her position and hired as a simple specialist.
According to some rumors, Abelskaya was not given the opportunity to see her own son, but there is no confirmation of this fact.
In 2009, Irina again became the head physician of the UDP hospital, and in 2015 she appeared at Lukashenko’s inauguration at his invitation. And not so long ago, a woman was awarded the prestigious Order of Honor.
Son of Alexander Lukashenko - Viktor Lukashenko
The eldest son of Alexander Lukashenko, Viktor Lukashenko, was born in the mid-70s of the last century. After school, the young man was drafted into the army. Having been demobilized, the eldest son of the Belarusian President becomes a student at the Belarusian State University. He easily enters the Faculty of International Relations.
Having received his diploma, Victor begins to work on national security issues. He is currently keeping an eye on his father's safety.

Old Man's eldest son is happily married. He is a father of many children. Victor loves all his children, who are raised in love. Grandfather often visits the family of his eldest son. He says that he is proud of the successes of Victoria, Alexander, Valeria and Yaroslav.
The President's favorites are models and actresses
Afterwards, the president’s attention turned to the young artist Irina Dorofeeva. The vocalist accompanied the head of state on vacation and lived with him in the Vitebsk presidential residence. For his birthday, the girl gave the president a song.
Irina herself did not confirm rumors about personal connections with Lukashenko, but she did not refute them either - she always answered questions from journalists evasively.
Irina Dorofeeva
Back in 1998, he was seen in a photo with “Miss Belarus” Svetlana Kruk, putting his arm around her waist. And in 2002, Alexander Grigorievich became interested in the winner of the Russian beauty contest, Svetlana Koroleva. In 2008, during one of the festive concerts, Lukashenko danced with singer Marta Golubeva, who later accompanied Alexander at one of the cultural events. After 2020, the president became interested in another girl - a student from Svetlogorsk, whose name is Alina Roskach.
