Citizens of Belarus can easily name the most popular child in their country. This is Nikolai Lukashenko, son of the President of the State. For several years now, the boy has been seen next to his father at important state events and official meetings. At the age of 14, he had already met many world and religious leaders. The teenager is often called the Little Prince by the media. His father tells a lot about him. We also invite readers to get to know Kolya Lukashenko.
First public appearance
Many Belarusians know when Nikolai Lukashenko's birthday is. It's August 31st. In 2018, the teenager turned 14 years old. True, until 2008 the Belarusian president hid the boy from the public.
However, the media were aware that Alexander Lukashenko has a younger, third son. For the first time, Nikolai appeared in public in April 2008 - he participatedtogether with his father in a community work day at the construction site of the Minsk Arena. However, no one explained to the public what kind of child was with the president.
Bastard son?
Alexander Lukashenko himself was then still married to the mother of his eldest sons, Galina Lukashenko. However, according to him, they do not live together from the very beginning of the presidential term. After the subbotnik, Alexander Lukashenko announced his son to the media as a successor to the presidency.
But why has the "illegitimate" son accompanied the Belarusian leader everywhere since then? The President explains everything simply: Nikolai Lukashenko cannot stay with other adults, the boy needs to follow his father all the time.
Alexander Lukashenko does not believe that children outside of marriage should be hidden. He is against talking about the child "not mine", "alien". By the way, the Russian president also supports him in this. Vladimir Vladimirovich is sure that children are God's gift, there are simply no extra or other people's children.
The boy's mother
Curious citizens since the appearance of the child in public tried to find out who is the mother of Nikolai Lukashenko. The official response was stingy: "she works as a doctor."
But nevertheless, the journalists managed to find out the facts expected by the public. Nikolai Lukashenko's mother is Irina Abelskaya. She holds the post of chief physician of the clinic of the Office of the President. In the past, she was also the personal doctor of the head of state. There is evidence that Irina Abelskaya is the daughter of the late Minister of He alth of Belarus L. Staying.
How close the son is to his mother is unknown. Irina lives in Drozdy, and Lukashenka and her son live in Ozerny (located near the Ostroshitsky town). At official events, Irina Abelskaya can be met by chance, in the crowd. But the place of the wife near the head of state is occupied by completely different young women.
The media also report that Abelskaya's career largely depended on her relationship with the President - she either enjoyed patronage or "fell into disgrace." For example, in 2007, a woman was dismissed with a scandal, having lost all regalia.
She had to work as an ordinary ultrasound diagnostician, but in 2009 she again took the post of chief physician of the clinic of the Office of the President. After this incident, there were no criticisms addressed to her. Irina Abelskaya, on the contrary, participates in medical events, shares her experience as a manager of a medical facility.
About her son, Nikolai Lukashenko, she speaks dryly in the press. He only says that he wants him to get a good education, choose an interesting job, bring joy and benefit to others. At official events where mother and son are invited, they are usually not together.
Brothers
Nikolay Lukashenko has three brothers: they are Viktor and Dmitry Lukashenko, who hold high positions in Belarus (on his father's side), and Dmitry Abelsky, who works as an ophthalmologist (on his mother's side).
Their relationship is shrouded in mystery, but Alexander Lukashenko himself admits that the boy is jealous of his older brothers, interrupts conversations about them, demandsincreased attention to yourself. The child explains this by the fact that they are adults and they already have their own children. However, the President says that Nikolai has good relations with Dmitry and Viktor.
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 Ostroshitsky town.
In 2016, Nikolai Lukashenko (the photo of the son of the Belarusian President is 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.
Hobbies
He is also busy with school theater productions. The boy managed to play the astrologer, Kai, Father Frost's assistant, the lion from Madagascar. In addition, he has two more serious hobbies - hockey training and piano lessons. At the same time, he practices music for several hours a week.
Nikolay loves to mess around with animals in the presidential household. These are goats, cows, peacocks, horses, rabbits, ponies and three ostriches.
At the same time, the boy manages to study at school according to the usual program. Given how much he accompanies his father on international trips, it's hard to believe. But the school management confirms this fact.
Meetings with world leaders
In the biography of Nikolai Lukashenko there are meetings withtwo heads of the Roman Catholic Church. In 2009, he participated in the official meeting of the Belarusian President with Pope Benedict XVI, and in 2016 with Pope Francis. There were no gifts here. The boy handed Pope Benedict a primer, and Pope Francis - a holographic icon, a copy of the cross of Euphrosyne of Polotsk, and a model of a carriage.
Moreover, at the age of 10, Nikolai took part in the UN General Assembly. The child met with former President of the United States Barack Obama and his wife. Several times I was with my father's business visits in China.
This boy with an amazing fate at the age of 14 has already managed to shake hands with Vladimir Putin, Nursultan Nazarbayev, Hugo Chavez, Ilmakh Aliyev and many other world leaders. In 2009, the former President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev gave Nikolai a magnificent gift - a golden pistol during military exercises.
Benefit or benefit?
Of course, any boy would envy Kolya Lukashenko, the opportunities that the youngest son of the Belarusian leader has. Basically, high-ranking officials, on the contrary, tend to hide their family affairs from the general public, provide the press with meager information about their personal lives. But not Alexander Lukashenko! He has long sought to make his youngest son a recognizable media face.
So, the boy has already managed to take several times with his father a military parade on May 9, in honor of the Victory of the USSR in the Great Patriotic War. At the ceremonial event in 2009, the child was completely dressed in a military uniform. Although the President no longer attracts his son todressing up like this, the boy's childhood can hardly be called ordinary even for the child of a political leader. Many media are sure that the father uses Nikolai to create his positive image.
Of course, there's nothing wrong with that, but it's one thing to participate in subbotniks with dad, dig potatoes together and travel the world. But there are footage on the network in which the boy drives a motorcycle and combine without a license. For publication in the media, at the age of 13 he posed for the camera, posing as an ordinary passenger in a reserved seat car. All this ambiguously affects the formation of the character and psyche of a teenager. However, his high-ranking father knows better how to raise his son.
Relationship with father
What you can be sure of - Alexander Lukashenko really loves his youngest son, not embarrassed to call him "baby" in communication with journalists and leaders of other states. Sincerely paternal feeling is difficult to play on camera.
Journalists note that Kolya Lukashenko is one of the few people in the state today who can object to his leader. For example, the boy negatively assessed his father's idea of moving the start of the school shift from 8 to 9 in the morning. Nikolai objected: how can working parents take their child to school? It's not the President's son coming.
But in the relationship between the Belarusian leader and his youngest son, there are also the usual parental problems. The child, like many of his peers, is passionate about computer games. The father strictly regulates the time he spends on the Internet. Alexander Lukashenkocomplains: the son says that he needs to search the net for information for the school. Looking for two minutes, and playing "Tanks" for an hour.
But Alexander Lukashenko is categorical in matters with social networks, so you will not find Kolya's account in any of the popular social networks. The Belarusian leader believes that they are destroying the child's psyche.
Nikolai Lukashenko is the most popular child in Belarus. We briefly got acquainted with the biography of this boy. Perhaps the future Belarusian leader, as his father prophesies.
