The personal life of the President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko, as well as his main ally Putin, is shrouded in great mystery, but it is known that once the scandalous politician had a wife named Galina.
It is known that Lukashenka was married only once to Galina Zhelnerovich. A woman born in 1955 from an ordinary Belarusian family. She met the future politician and friend of the Russian dictator at school, in the village of Ryzhkovichi. Together they entered the Mogilev Institute at the Faculty of History, and after graduating from the institute in 1975, young Lukashenko proposed to Galina on the banks of the Dnieper during a date. In marriage, the couple had two sons – Victor and Dmitry.
Although the divorce was never officially formalized, the couple did not live together for very many years. While the children were small, Galina worked in a kindergarten, from January 1998 she headed the department of the Mogilev Regional Executive Committee for the improvement of the population, she organizes sanatorium treatment for residents, but it is not known what she is doing now.
Officially, she almost never appeared with her husband, for all the years of Lukashenko’s presidency, she accompanied him only once on a trip abroad – to Israel in 1994. Allegedly, Lukashenko’s wife has a house in her native Ryzhkovichi with a high fence, which appeared after the newspapers published a photo in which Galina milks a cow, allegedly this made her husband very angry and he ordered to take the cow away from her, and enclose the house with a high brick wall and put on guard.
During the elections in 2020, it became known that Galina is still listed as the wife of the Belarusian dictator – the CEC of Belarus cited the data of her declaration as the wife of a presidential candidate.
Why this marriage ended is also a mystery. But either Galina did not want to lose her quiet life in the village and move to Minsk with her husband after he went into politics, or the constant betrayals of Lukashenko became the reason. Now the odious politician is often seen in public with young girls. Moreover, in 2004, Lukashenko’s third son, Nikolai, was born, but who the mother of the 17-year-old heir is also a mystery.
