The President of Belarus has more than one residence at his disposal, but before the Independence Palace was built on Pobediteley Avenue, where Lukashenko's office moved, this house in the center of Minsk was the official residence of the head of state and his main workplace.
At one time, the six-story building at 38 Karl Marx Street belonged to the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Belarus. People often call this building the Red House, and, interestingly, its interior decoration only reinforces associations connected with the color. Face-to-face meetings are held in the Green and Blue Halls, while foreign delegations are received in the White Hall.
It is noteworthy that this building became Alexander Lukashenko's workplace back in the early 90s, because it was here that sessions of the Supreme Council of Belarus were held, of which he was a member as a deputy.
