What is known about Kolya Lukashenka's Belarusian classmates who graduated with him from Peking University
During his trip to China, Alexander Lukashenka met with the leadership of Peking University, and then spoke during the graduation ceremony. Among the graduates were his son Nikolai and four other students, as well as their parents, whom the politician, by his own admission, only met at the diploma presentation. "Zerkalo" found out what is known about the guys who studied in Beijing with Lukashenka's son.

Told Lukashenka a joke about a T-shirt with Hitler and went viral with a screenshot
Alexei Gavrichkov received diplomas from the rectors of Peking University and BSU along with Kolya Lukashenka. This guy "came to prominence" during Alexander Lukashenka's open lesson on September 1, 2022, which the politician held at BSU.
Then-first-year biology student Gavrichkov introduced himself by name and said that he was a classmate of Denis Znak, a student who angered Lukashenka with a question about propaganda.
Before asking the question, Gavrichkov told the politician an anecdote.
— A guy made himself a T-shirt with Hitler's portrait in a heart — he got several blows to the head, was beaten half to death, and he hadn't even left the room yet, — said Gavrichkov, but the hall reacted sluggishly; only Lukashenka and the student himself laughed.
— Previously, this anecdote would have seemed absolutely nonsensical and funny, but now, as someone who loves history and is interested in it, I often frequent various historical communities and have noticed a tendency (and in the last few years it has only intensified) that people our age (and they instill this in the minds of the younger generation) are beginning to believe that Hitler was right, that he was a liberator. Don't you think we need to involve young people more in history so that people know?

While Gavrichkov was asking his question, behind him, biology student Roman Pavlov wrote the word "Save me" on a piece of paper. This instantly became a meme, and the photo of Roman behind Alexei spread across social networks and media.

Now, 23-year-old Gavrichkov is studying for his master's degree. He shared this in his tutor profile on "Profi.ru".
— I am engaged in research in the field of molecular genetics, I have scientific publications, — Alexei introduces himself. — My math level is high, as I do a lot of statistical analysis in my work. I know English at a high level, and have experience in international cooperation. I have also been studying Chinese for three years. In school, I participated in chemistry and biology olympiads. Accordingly, I am interested in orders in the fields of chemistry, biology, mathematics, Chinese, and English.
Parents of Alexei Gavrichkov
Alexei's parents also flew to Beijing from Minsk for the graduation ceremony. While there is no information about his father in open sources, there is about his mother. Natalia Gavrichkova works as the head of kindergarten-nursery No. 76 in the capital.
She was featured on the cover of a professional magazine in July 2021. She participated in republican congresses for kindergarten workers and conducted various seminars.
Grew up with a security officer mother and played roles in the faculty theater

Vladislav Stepanov was also present at that high-profile open lesson by Lukashenka. A graduate of Minsk school No. 19, he also enrolled in the BSU Faculty of Biology, specializing in "biotechnology."
Stepanov describes his years of studying at two universities alongside Nikolai Lukashenka succinctly:
— It was difficult and cool. It was rich, vibrant, and very memorable. I participated in a large number of olympiads, scientific and practical conferences, so it came quite easily to me.
At the same time, the student even managed to perform in the faculty theater — "Bio-Theater." In the play "The Heart Wants What It Wants," he played the role of the first rib of the human body.
His mother, Irina Stepanova, supported her son at the graduation ceremony in Beijing.
According to data from open sources, the woman likely works in the Ministry of Internal Affairs (at least in 2021, as far as "Nashaniva" knows, she worked in the Department of Citizenship and Migration of the Ministry of Internal Affairs). She can be seen in photos from a familiarization trip of Belarusian ministry employees to Tajikistan, which took place in August 2024.

And in February of this year, Irina appeared in a photo from a meeting of CIS country experts. They were reviewing an agreement on cooperation in combating crime in transport.
As a school student, he gave a report at a Chinese-Belarusian conference and was recognized
Yauhen Zhukouski (second from right)
Yauhen Zhukouski from Minsk was an active student of the National Children's Technopark before entering the BSU Faculty of Biology. In 2021, while still a school student, he went to Guangzhou, where he participated in the fourth Chinese-Belarusian Forum. His report "Ecological synthesis of silver and polyvinyl alcohol nanocomposites" was recognized by the forum's board. Zhukouski's work was supervised by Doctor of Chemical Sciences, Professor Dmitry Grinshpan.

With the same report, Yauhen also participated in the IV International Student Ecological Congress, which gathered more than 100 young ecologists from Belarus, Russia, Lithuania, Turkmenistan, and Bangladesh.
As a student, Yauhen received a third-degree diploma at the mathematics olympiad among students of non-mathematical faculties of BSU. By the way, he also acted in "Bio-Theater," like Stepanov. Only this time, as the fourth rib.
His father, Yuri Zhukouski, was also present during the diploma ceremony for his son. He works at UE "STS-Belpoliplastik," the largest pipe supplier in Belarus.
Participated in IT competitions and called his path "thorny"
Homyel resident Yahor Karatkevich also studied with Kolya Lukashenka. A graduate of secondary school No. 40, during his school years he was active in the "Homiel Regional Center for Technical Creativity of Children and Youth."
The guy won prize-winning places in various IT competitions. For example, in 2019, he took first place in the "Web Design" category of the republican Hi-Tech competition. And in 2021, he took second place in the regional hackathon "Initiatives that improve life." He proposed "a prototype of the simplest game console for learning the basics of programming."

— "Thorny" [was the path], — Yahor told state TV about the difficulties in his studies over these years. — In principle, it's about exploring new topics, new opportunities for oneself, that is, understanding how scientific processes and scientific experiments happen in reality, how much our ideas and ambitions as young scientists are implementable, including in our country.
His father, Alexander Karatkevich, was also present with him in Beijing. Nothing particularly special is known about him.

The man was only found in a photo from a meeting with Alexei Talai at the Belarusian State University of Transport in Homiel. The meeting was attended by employees of BelDUT, Homiel Customs, and "Belmitservis." It is possible that the Homiel resident works at one of these places.
As a reminder, on June 30, state media reported that Alexander Lukashenka attended the graduation of his youngest son Nikolai in Beijing — where diplomas were awarded to students of the first joint Belarusian-Chinese program in "biotechnology." Four other guys studied with him in Beijing.
