Miss Belarus, Maria Vasilevich and Alexander Lukashenk

A GLAMOROUS beauty queen who is dating Belarus’ dictator has become the country's youngest MP amid claims of a rigged election. Political novice Maria Vasilevich, 22, has been seen frequently in public with President Alexander Lukashenko, 65, since she was crowned Miss Belarus in May 2018. Lukashenko, an ex-collective farm boss from the Soviet era, who has been dubbed "Europe's last dictator", has ruled Belarus with an iron fist since 1994.
