Who are the girls who "accidentally" ended up at Mak.by during Lukashenka's visit?
On March 8, during Aliaksandr Lukashenka's visit to the Mak.by restaurant, internet users noticed a group of arranged girls sitting behind him and eating, who did not look like ordinary visitors. The publication "Zerkalo" found out who they are.

A rather large company came to the restaurant with Lukashenka: the politician himself, several of his bodyguards, Deputy Prime Minister Mikalai Snapkoŭ, who tried to pay for him. Journalists from pro-government media, including Ilona Krasutskaya from "Belarus 1" TV channel and Ihar Tur from ONT, sat at the same table with Lukashenka.
In the official chronicle footage, one can also see Minsk City Executive Committee Chairman Uladzimir Kukharau, businessman Siarhei Tatseryn, who has a close friendship with Lukashenka, the politician's personal doctor Svetlana Kanoshenka, and the Spitz dog Umka, who was lying on the table not for the first time.

However, TikTok users drew attention to two young girls who appeared in the background of a video from Lukashenka's press service. They tried to behave like ordinary restaurant visitors, at some point starting to eat. At the same time, both occasionally looked at the cameras.
In other footage, it can be seen that only arranged girls are sitting at the tables behind the politician.

"The girls in the background are like in a restaurant," one user noted.
"Next time, warn the actresses not to look at the camera," another joked.
"I wonder how the casting for the role of visitors went," a third inquired.

"Zerkalo" found out who the girls were who ended up in the restaurant during Lukashenka's visit. They are both former beauty pageant contestants and, apparently, employees of the protocol service under the politician.
The visitor on the left is Anastasia Nekrashevich. The girl is originally from Homiel, she is now 21 years old. Anastasia is a pianist, received awards at various creative competitions and a prize from Lukashenka's special fund for supporting talented youth. In 2023, the girl entered the Belarusian State Academy of Music for the piano and composition-musicology faculty.

Anastasia also participates in various beauty pageants. At the end of 2023, she was recognized as "Miss Academy of Music", then at the "Queen of Students" competition, she won the crown of the first vice-miss. In 2025, the student participated in the "Miss Minsk" competition and won the title of "Miss Sport".

And Anastasia also, apparently, works in the protocol service under Lukashenka and greets guests at official events. The student in national costume can be seen in footage from the meeting of the President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev and the visit of the President of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev to Minsk in June 2025.

The second "accidental" visitor of Mak.by is Lizaveta Kazak. She is 20 years old, a student of the Faculty of International Economic Relations at BSEU. In the past, she dedicated 12 years to ballroom dancing, and later became interested in cheerleading. She enjoys reading classical literature.

Lizaveta participated in the "Miss BSEU" competition, and also reached the finals of "Miss Belarus" in 2023, but did not win the crown.
The student participated in Lukashenka's meeting with youth activists and even asked him a question. At that time, she was interested in "whether the head of state is satisfied with everything at the Palace of Independence and whether he has a favorite hall."

Now Lizaveta presents herself on Instagram as a model. Presumably, she also works in the protocol service under Lukashenka. She can be seen with a karavai (traditional bread) in the footage of the awarding of state honors to leading agricultural workers in November 2025.

Other "ordinary" people were also in the restaurant during Lukashenka's visit. Before starting to eat, the politician approached a group with the question: "Is this the starving people?" He tried to find out if they came on their own, but did not receive a clear answer.

The people at this table cannot really be called public figures, and it seems they are not security forces either. Interestingly, a person with the same name as one of those sitting at the table works in the state association "Capital Trade and Services". Apparently, the company also visited the restaurant for work.
