You can never predict how and when a relationship between a man and a woman can end. Ungrateful this thing! Especially if he is the president, and she is the doctor. It will be a happy story or a tragic one, time will tell.
Where is mom looking?
Today, the relationship of Irina Abelskaya and Alexander Lukashenko is more like a tragicomedy. There are a lot of gossip about her, the most incredible rumors, but at the level of speculation and conjecture. And it’s all about Kolya Lukashenko! A caring president of Belarus, gentle and touching, takes a blue-eyed boy with him everywhere: to parades, haymaking, government meetings, to the Pope, to the UN General Assembly. A small presidential copy in expensive uniforms! Is it really interesting for Kolya to follow his father unquestioningly? And where is mom looking? Where is she? Why, answering the question: “Who brings him up besides you?”, Lukashenko frankly confesses: “Nobody!”. And then the president clarifies that he is not divorced, but has a son from another woman. And no more details.
Presumably, this “other woman” is Irina Abelskaya, whose photo you see in the article. She was called the president’s most beloved doctor, his right hand. At one time, she was considered the most influential woman in Belarus.
Irina Abelskaya: biography
Irina was born in 1965 in the border Brest, left for the capital and entered the Minsk State Medical Institute at the pediatric faculty, which she successfully graduated in 1988. I met my first love while studying. Soon a wedding, a child, family problems - in a word, like everyone else. The marriage was short-lived. After the divorce, Irina was left alone with her son in her arms. She did not return home to Brest, she began working in one of the Minsk hospitals. She was in good standing, although nothing special stood out. Pretty, affable, executive. Her interests included work and a son. And fate was already beginning to prepare surprises.
Favorite Doctor of the President
1994 gives Belarus the first president. It becomes Alexander Lukashenko. He immediately starts new orders in his environment and orders to find a new personal doctor. In complete confusion, subordinates selected applicants according to the following criteria: a young woman, unmarried, could be with her son. Irina Abelskaya, whose photo is presented to your attention in the article, was fully suitable in all respects.
This year was a turning point for the ordinary endocrinologist Irina Abelskaya: she soared up the career ladder, she was appointed therapist to the presidential hospital, followed by an urgent transfer to the country's most prestigious health resort, assignment of the highest qualification category and, finally, a new duty - to accompany the president everywhere. Abelskaya always followed him. During the visits, Irina stood nearby as the first lady, and the president’s legal wife, who had two sons from Lukashenko, was in good health in the village at that time. The president did not hesitate to openly say that he has not lived with Galina Rodionovna for many years.
Abel’s Irina became his shadow and often carried out such instructions of the president, which were completely not part of the duties of the doctor. Many high officials, fearing to fall under the hot hand of Alexander, turned for help to Abelskaya, who rarely refused. The humble Abel Irina quickly gained authority, became indispensable. Many important issues were resolved through it. But it was not always possible to tame Lukashenko’s tough temper, it was especially difficult to protect him from other women who wanted to take the place of the “personal doctor of the president”.
Mistakes of youth
Irina Abelskaya jealously guarded her happiness, tried to completely subjugate her beloved. Sometimes she crossed the boundaries of what was allowed, which irritated the vindictive Alexander. Once at a banquet, Lukashenko became interested in dancing with the young wife of the minister. Without waiting for the completion of the waltz, Irina came up and broke a pair. Mistakes were repeated more often, and in response she began to receive insults from outsiders. The situation was heating up. Probably, wanting to weaken control over himself, Lukashenko loaded Irina with a new job, appointing him the head doctor, and her mother - the Minister of Health.
Birth of a son
In August 2004, Irina was born a son weighing four kilograms. The birth took place in complete secrecy, with round-the-clock security of the Presidential Security Service. Doctors and midwives of the clinic were strictly forbidden to divulge any information. Only close relatives could visit a young mother. They called the boy Nicholas. After discharge, the young mother wanted to register her son herself, but she was not allowed. Apparently, the birth of a child was the last opportunity to finally bind Lukashenko to obtain legal status. But nothing came of it.
Unenviable share
Then followed the collapse of all hopes. Irina was dismissed from work with a scandal, Lukashenko himself criticized the work of an institution subordinate to her. Left without support, Abelskaya Irina for several years disappears from the field of view of the ubiquitous journalists. Rumors crawled the most incredible. It was said that Lukashenko married her to his guard, that she allegedly left for Sochi to work in a sanatorium, that she was being treated in one of Minsk mental hospitals, that she was not in the world at all. Did Irina Abelskaya really die? The death befell her mother - Lyudmila Postoyalko, who was then the Minister of Health of the republic. And Irina Stepanovna herself was alive and well, although for a long time she could not find a job.
