An investigative report by RFE/RL's Belarus Service says oligarch Alyaksey Aleksin, who is closely linked to the country’s authoritarian ruler Alyaksandr Lukashenka, has built an opulent residence named the "Family Nest" on the shores of the Zaslauskaye water reservoir near Minsk. A private entertainment complex and a 300-meter-long shooting field complete the property nearby. An RFE/RL investigation based on satellite images and data from closed registries revealed the property was developed following questionable decisions by Lukashenka and other officials after Aleksin obtained the land on extremely favorable terms from the Minsk Regional Executive Committee for 99 years.
