Lukashenka’s deck of cards

Hihin is a six, Miasnikovich – a jack and Kolia is a joker.

An organization Belarusians in Exile has issued playing cards with the pictures of Belarusian officials and oligarchs, Nasha Niva reports.

Each card is provided with a short explanation of why this or that person has made it into the deck and why he/she is included in the list of “Lukashenka regime’s supporters”.

There are usual 52 cards in the deck, but it is of interest which value the creators have assigned to specific officials.

For example, among the twos there are Dzmitry Paulichenka and court chairmen Piotr Miklashevich and Valiancin Sukala.

On the fours there are pictures of region executive committees’ chairmen – Kasiniec, Sumar and Shapira.

The sixes are well-known propagandists – Hihin and Davydzka.

Businessmen are represented in the deck by Aliaksandr Shakucin (a seven), Aliaksandr Moshenski and Uladzimir Piefcieu (eights), Jury Chyzh and Anatol Tarnauski (nines).

The jacks are the Minister of Internal Affairs Ihar Shunievich, the head of Lukashenka’s security Andrej Uciuryn, the head of the administration Andrej Kabiakou and the Prime Minister Mikhail Miasnikovich.

In the conditions of slim pickings the queens are Nadzieja Katkaviec, Nadzieja Jermakova, Lidzija Jarmoshyna and Natalia Piatkievich. The kings are Viktar Shejman, Uladzimir Makej, Viktar Vakulchyk and Viktar Lukashenka.

There is only one ace – the dictator himself in different images. There is also a joker – his son Kolia, who is pictured with a golden gun.
