Lukashenko’s grandson registered a company in the “Orsha Offshore Zone”
Buro discovered that Aleksandr Lukashenko’s grandson, Aleksandr Lukashenko Jr., had co-founded a private company. This is the first recorded case of someone from the family of the Belarusian head of state owning a private business.
The company Sezon Upakovki was established on 2 June 2025. Twenty-year-old Aleksandr Lukashenko Jr. owns 20%. The remaining 80% is owned by the firm Morskiye Sezony, established by businesswoman Ludmila Niaronskaya, a close friend of Viktor and Lilia Lukashenko.
We recently reported on how Niaronskaya profits from the fishing industry in Belarus and Russia thanks to her friendship with the family of Lukashenko’s eldest son. Importantly, Dzmitry Dziatlau, the husband of Lukashenko’s eldest granddaughter Viktoria Lukashenko, also works at Morskiye Sezony.
Sezon Upakovki, which is co-owned by Lukashenko’s grandson, will produce corrugated paper and cardboard, as well as containers made from these materials. When registering, the company indicated the Bremino-Orsha Free Economic Zone as its legal address. This zone is popularly known as the “Orsha offshore” due to the extensive benefits and preferences granted to it personally by Aleksandr Lukashenko through his decree.
One week after its establishment, Sezon Upakovki changed its registered address to the administrative complex in Balbasava village, which is located on the Bremino-Orsha site. This site is also home to companies belonging to Lukashenko’s “wallets”: Bremino Group, Ardita, Ruzexpedition and Stiskho.
It is not yet known for sure whether the company Sezon Upakovki has entered the free economic zone to enjoy the numerous benefits and preferences offered by the state. The fact is that in June, shortly after the company co-owned by Lukashenko’s grandson was registered, the FEZ operator – Bremino Group – unexpectedly hid the previously public list of residents.

“Given that the head of the Belarusian regime is not getting any younger, it is not surprising that everything around Lukashenko is tied to the family. Of course, it’s unusual to put a grandson with that name in the business because, like it or not, there’s an obvious connection with politically affiliated people. In countries governed by the principles of a free market, transparency, and the rule of law, such closeness to the political hierarchy would immediately raise questions. And this reinforces the impression that no one in Lukashenko’s inner circle is seriously considering any alternatives [for cooperation] beyond Russia, China, and similar countries”, said Vytis Jurkonis, Associate Professor at the Institute of International Relations and Political Science at Vilnius University, in a comment to Buro.
