Secrets of Lukashenko's private life: why his wife is called "lady with a cow" and what is known about the dictator's numerous mistresses

On August 30, 2024, self-proclaimed president of the Republic of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko celebrates his 70th birthday. Like his "comrade" Vladimir Putin, the personal life of the Belarusian dictator is hidden behind an iron door. However, the politician had a wife, known as "the lady with a cow."

Lukashenko was reportedly married only once to Galina Zhelnerovich. She was born in 1955 and came from an ordinary family. The first meeting of the pro-Russian politician and his future wife took place in a rural school in Ryzhkovichi. Later they studied together at the Faculty of History of the Mogilev Institute. In 1975, Lukashenka proposed to Galina, after which the couple had two sons - Viktor and Dmitry.

The lady with the cow

It is known that despite the absence of an official divorce, the head of Belarus has not lived with his wife for many years. Galina almost never accompanied her husband at business meetings, only once leaving with him on a trip abroad to Israel in 1994.

The woman is said to have a house in her native village enclosed by a high fence. Lukashenko ordered to erect the fence after a photo of Galina with a cow appeared in the media. Allegedly, it angered the politician and he ordered to take away his wife's pet and put guards in the house.

Countless novels

Despite the unofficial divorce from his wife, Lukashenka had many women on the side. One of them was a doctor Irina Abelskaya, who accompanied the dictator on trips. According to rumors, Irina is the mother of the illegitimate son of the mustachioed Russian henchman Nikolai.

Singer Irina Dorofeeva, whom Lukashenko spotted at the Song Theater, is called another passion of the Belarusian. Subsequently, photos of the artist began to appear on the streets of Minsk, on clothes and even packages. Dorofeeva was repeatedly seen with the self-proclaimed president on vacation in Sochi.

During a concert celebrating Belarus' Independence Day in 2008, the politician was spotted with 18-year-old vocalist Marto Golubeva, who accompanied him to the opening of the renovated Bolshoi Opera and Ballet Theater in 2009.

Lukashenko was last seen with Marta at the finals of the Miss Belarus 2016 pageant. At that time, model and TV hostess Polina Shuba was hanging around him. In one of the interviews, the head of state admitted that he had known the young brunette since she was 12 years old. At one time Polina worked in Lukashenko's protocol service. They could be seen together during hockey matches and other public events.

Other favorites of Putin's friend included Alina Roskach, a finalist of the Miss Belarus 2016 beauty pageant, Daria Shmanai, the 2013 Spring Queen, and 21-year-old Miss Belarus 2018 Maria Vasilevich.
