Alexander Lukashenko


 

Alexander Grigoryevich Lukashenko (Lukashenka) (Russian: ????????? ??????????? ?????????, Belarusian: ??????????? ?????????? ??????????, Alaksandar Ryhoravi? ?uka?enka) (born August 30, 1954) is the current President of Belarus. First elected in 1994, his rule has been controversial: his supporters argue that his policies have spared Belarus the worst effects of post-Soviet capitalism, while his opponents, at home and abroad, accuse him of being dictatorial. Lukashenko's external and internal policies have led Belarus to be barred from joining the Council of Europe.
