First Lady of Belarus


The First Lady of the Republic of Belarus, also known as the First Lady of Belarus is an unofficial de facto title usually attributed to the wife of the president of Belarus. The first and only person to hold the title is Galina Lukashenko, wife of Alexander Lukashenko.

History

The unofficial de facto position of First Lady of Belarus was created alongside the position of the President of Belarus on July 20, 1994. Its first and incumbent officeholder is Galina Lukashenko. Even though she is First Lady, she has not ever operated as one; Galina Lukashenko refused to move to Minsk during the start of her spouse Alexander Lukashenko's presidency and has lived in the village ever since. Despite the separation, an official divorce was never declared. Galina Lukashenko's only act as First Lady is said to be her participation in a visit of Alexander Lukashenko to Israel in 1994.
