Belarussian President Alexander Lukashenko earned 94.5 million Belarussian rubles ($31,242) in 2009 and owns no property or securities, according to the country’s election commission.
Lukashenko’s wife, Galina, earned 16 million rubles last year and owns a 174-square-meter house, a half-share in a 53.8-square-meter house and 56 shares in dairy producer Maslodelny Zavod, the commission said on its web site.
All 10 candidates in Belarus’ Dec. 19 presidential election filed income statements that were published by the commission.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
