This is evidenced by the income declaration filed by presidential candidate in 2010 and 2015.
The CEC has published information on the property and annual income of the presidential candidates in the 2015 elections. According to this data, in 2014, the incumbent president Aliaksandr Lukashenka earned 552 million rubles. This amount includes only annual income - based on the published data, the head of state had no other sources of income.
If we divide this amount by 12 months and translate it into dollars (the average rate for 2014 was 10,260 rubles), we would get about $ 4,500 a month.
In 2009, according to the declaration filed with the Central Election Commission, the head of state earned a little more than $2,800 a month.
