Pro-government blogger Andjilisha, who had a conflict with Lukashenka's daughter-in-law's company, got married
Millionaire blogger Andjilisha received a marriage proposal last year at a concert on July 3. Her boyfriend then knelt on one knee under the red-green flag and presented a bouquet wrapped in the same color scheme.

Anhelina Mikhalyova (aka Andjilisha) delighted her multi-million audience with the news that she got married. Her chosen one is Ulad Shuma. He also tried to develop his blog on TikTok, but achieved much less success than his wife. While Andjilisha alone has 3.8 million subscribers on this social network, Ulad has about 72 thousand.
The wedding was very modest — the couple simply registered at the registry office. Instead of a trendy bouquet of calla lilies, which Andjilisha initially planned to buy for 350 rubles, she bought lilies of the valley from an old woman in an underpass and tied the flowers with a white ribbon. As a result, the festive bouquet cost only 17 rubles.
After the registration, the newlyweds dined at The View restaurant.
But Andjilisha reassures her audience: a big celebration will still happen — it is planned for August 15. There will be a white dress and everything else.
Recall that a few years ago, for the sake of her blogging career, Andjilisha even dropped out of university — she studied cultural management at the Belarusian State University of Culture and Arts. At that time, Andjilisha frankly admitted to her subscribers that she was very afraid of job placement: "I was very worried that I might be sent somewhere to work off my studies, and my career, which is on the rise, might stop."
Andjilisha's promotion as a singer was handled by the music company "Flagman Music," which is associated with Lukashenka's daughter-in-law Hanna Sialuk. Informant Volha Bondarava occasionally complained about Andjilisha, but it seemed that the popular blogger had no reason to worry with such powerful backing.
Andjilisha, along with other bloggers Dim Dimych and Ulka Pulka, were actively used for propaganda among schoolchildren. They sang songs in support of Lukashenka, wore his merch, and performed at the "Unity Marathon." They also gave a concert in occupied Crimea.
Andjilisha also appeared in the first domestic interactive series "Zoomers".
But something went wrong. Last year, at the end of December, the girl recorded a video in which she cried because all her songs had been deleted.
A month later, the blogger told her subscribers the details: "Flagman Music," with whom she had worked for three years, took over her project and deleted all her songs from music platforms.
— They didn't stop there, and today artist Andji released a new track without my knowledge. I officially state: I have nothing to do with this song. The cover, lyrics, and beat were created with the help of neural networks — again, without my participation. I have had no creative process with these people for a long time. Only legal matters, which are currently being resolved, connect us. I will not and do not want to give any moral evaluations of "Flagman Music." Simply put, this action on their part, in my opinion, dishonors my reputation and dignity as an artist.
In turn, "Flagman Music" accused Andjilisha of infantilism on its social media.
These months have been very difficult for the blogger, who was previously favored by the authorities. Andjilisha recently admitted that she "neglected herself, her creativity, her health" because she felt very bad.
She says she stopped doing all procedures (even manicures), gained several kilograms. And she got to the point where she can't look at herself in the mirror.
It is likely that Andjilisha and "Flagman Music" were able to reach some compromise: in mid-May, the blogger announced that all tracks had been restored on music platforms. But she remained silent about the sudden disappearance of her Instagram account, where Andjilisha had 123 thousand followers.
Even earlier than Andjilisha, blogger Ulka Pulka (Ulyana Stalyarova) left "Flagman Music" — Ulyana Stalyarova created this persona entirely independently. The girl was forced to leave all her social media pages as property of the music company. Moreover, on her YouTube channel alone, the girl had more than 3 million subscribers.
The company, in turn, transferred Stalyarova's social media accounts to another girl — 15-year-old Minsk schoolgirl Aryna Romanava from a military family. She is now trying to win over the audience as Ulka Pulka — but without much success.
