Belaya Rus (Belarusian: Белая Русь, romanized: Bielaja Ruś, lit. 'White Rus'') is a Belarusian public association founded on 17 November 2007 to support President Alexander Lukashenko. Since then, the leaders of the organization have regularly announced that they are ready to become a political party. President Lukashenko neither firmly opposed the idea, nor supported it. He has made comments such as: "Well, if they are ready, let them be a party, I am not against it. On the contrary, I will support it because they are patriots. But I wouldn't advise them to hurry." The party is based on the idea of the All-Russia People's Front. It has no real ideology outside of absolute support for Lukashenko.[2] The former minister of Education of Belarus, Alexander Radkov was chairman of the association from 2007 to 2018. The NGO has a membership of over 180,000.[3]
Gennady Davydko, the head of the Belarusian TV and Radio Company, was elected chairman of Belaya Rus in a unanimous vote by the association's council on 19 January 2018.[4]
