Mikhail Gutseriev is a prominent Russian businessman, with business interests in Belarus in the sectors of energy, potash, hospitality and others. He is a long-time acquaintance of Aliaksandr Lukashenka and thanks to that association has accumulated significant wealth and influence among the political elite in Belarus. Safmar, a company which has been controlled by Gutseriev, was the only Russian oil firm that carried on supplying oil to Belarusian refineries during the energy crisis between Belarus and Russia in early 2020. Gutseriev also supported Lukashenka in disputes with Russia over oil deliveries. Gutseriev has been the chairman of the board of directors of, and a shareholder in, the Slavkali company, which is building the Nezhinsky potassium chloride mining and processing plant based on the Starobinsky potash salt deposit near Lyuban. It is the largest investment in Belarus, worth USD 2 billion. Lukashenka promised to rename the town of Lyuban ‘Gutserievsk’ in his honour. His other businesses in Belarus have included fuelling stations and oil depots, a hotel, a business centre and an airport terminal in Minsk. Lukashenka came to Gutseriev’s defence after a criminal investigation was initiated against him in Russia. Lukashenka also thanked Gutseriev for his financial contributions to charity and investments worth billions of dollars in Belarus. Gutseriev is reported to have gifted Lukashenka luxurious presents. Gutseriev also declared himself to be the owner of a residency which de facto belongs to Lukashenka, thus covering him up when journalists started to investigate Lukashenka’s assets. Gutseriev attended Lukashenka’s secret inauguration on 23 September 2020. In October 2020 Lukashenka and Gutseriev both appeared at the opening of an orthodox church, which the latter sponsored. According to media reports, when the striking employees of Belarusian state-owned media were fired in August 2020, Russian media workers were flown to Belarus on board aircraft belonging to Gutseriev in order to replace the fired workers, and lodged in the Minsk Renaissance Hotel belonging to Gutseriev. Gutseriev assisted with the acquisition of CT scanners for Belarus during the COVID-19 crisis. Mikhail Gutseriev is therefore benefitting from and supporting the Lukashenka regime. |

She also documented cases of torture and other ill-treatment against detained protesters. Marfa Rabkova was one of the first members of Viasna to be targeted by the authorities with politically-motivated criminal charges after the protests in August 2020. Andrei Chapiuk was charged for participation in a criminal organisation and the incitement of hatred among other things, for his engagement in Viasna as a volunteer. Their trial was held behind closed doors by request of prosecutor Raman Biziuk and by approval of judge Siarhei Khrypach due to the alleged existence of ‘materials of extremist nature’ in the case. Siarhei Khrypach is also responsible for the politically-motivated conduct of the trial and verdicts for the co-defendants in the same trial, namely Akihiro Haeuski-Hanada, Alyaksandr Frantaskevich, Alykaksei Galauko, Alyaksandr Kazlyanka, Pavel Shpteny, Mikita Dranets, Andrei Marach and Daniil Chul. Siarhei Khrypach is also responsible for the politically-motivated verdict against Yegor Dudnikov in May 2021.

Belavia’s management also told its employees not to protest against election irregularities and mass detentions in Belarus, in view of the fact that Belavia is a state-owned enterprise.

Belneftekhim – Belarusian State Concern for Oil and Chemistry |
Белнафтахiм – Беларускi дзяржаўны канцэрн па нафце i хiмii Белнефтехим, Белорусский государственный концерн по нефти и химии |
Address: 73, Dzerzhinskogo Street, Minsk, 220116 Type of entity: State concern Place of registration: 73 Dzerzhinskogo Street, Minsk, 220116 Date of registration: 21.7.1997 Registration number: 101272253 Principal place of business: Minsk, Belarus |
The Belarusian State Concern for Oil and Chemistry (Belneftekhim) is one of the largest industrial complexes of the Republic of Belarus and consists of multiple other state-owned companies established in 1997. Aliaksandr Lukashenka considers Belneftekhim to be one of the most important and strategic concerns in Belarus. In particular, Belneftekhim represents a fundamental asset for the Belarusian economy and foreign policy, in particular in relation to the cooperation between Russia and Belarus in developing a common oil market. Regular consultations are held between the concern and President Lukashenka. Belneftekhim benefits from the support provided by the Lukashenka regime, especially in relation to the effects of Western sanctions. Therefore, Belneftekhim is benefiting from and supporting the Lukashenka regime. |
