Nationality: Russian the political elite in Belarus. Safmar, a company
which has been controlled by Gutseriev, was the only
Russian oil firm that carried on supplying oil to
Belarusian refineries during the energy crisis
between Belarus and Russia in early 2020.
Gutseriev also supported Lukashenka in disputes
with Russia over oil deliveries. Gutseriev has been the
chairman of the board of directors of, and a
shareholder in, the Slavkali company, which is
building the Nezhinsky potassium chloride mining
and processing plant based on the Starobinsky
potash salt deposit near Lyuban. It is the largest
investment in Belarus, worth USD 2 billion.
Lukashenka promised to rename the town of Lyuban
“Gutserievsk” in his honour.
His other businesses in Belarus have included fuelling
stations and oil depots, a hotel, a business centre and
an airport terminal in Minsk. Lukashenka came to
Gutseriev's defence after a criminal investigation was
initiated against him in Russia. Lukashenka also
thanked Gutseriev for his financial contributions to
charity and investments worth billions of dollars in
Belarus. Gutseriev is reported to have gifted
Lukashenka luxurious presents.
Gutseriev also declared himself to be the owner of a
residency which de facto belongs to Lukashenka,
thus covering him up when journalists started to
investigate Lukashenka's assets. Gutseriev attended
Lukashenka's secret inauguration on 23 September
2020. In October 2020 Lukashenka and Gutseriev
both appeared at the opening of an orthodox church,
which the latter sponsored.

According to media reports, when the striking
employees of Belarusian state-owned media were
fired in August 2020, Russian media workers were
flown to Belarus on board aircraft belonging to
Gutseriev in order to replace the fired workers, and
lodged in the Minsk Renaissance Hotel belonging to
Gutseriev. Gutseriev assisted with the acquisition of
CT scanners for Belarus during the COVID-19 crisis.
