Lukashenko of Belarus, Russia's Justice Minister - FSB head's neighbours in Krasnaya Polyana

Houses owned by Nikolai Patrushev, Director of the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB), and Vladimir Ustinov, Russia's Minister of Justice, stay near the residence of the controversial Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko, according to Russia's newspaper Express Gazeta.

The paper says these to buildings are much more modest than the Belarus President's house, and Russian security officials visit Krasnaya Polyana much more rarely than Alexander Lukashenko.

Online paper Khartiya' 97 underlines that the main feature of the Belarus President's residence is openness. Any high-ranked or ordinary Belarusian official may live here in absence of the head of state. Lukashenko will personally choose candidates for holidays in his villa and send them to the mountain resort.
