Are there oligarchs in Belarus, or not?

I can report from Belarus (I am currently there!) that as far as I can see, Gomel is in a very good shape.

Everything is in good state of repair. Additionally, this might be the safest country in Europe (unless you are a political dissident...) Plenty of shops, restaurants, cafes etc. Things are in better shape than Ukraine (outside of central Kiev) and certainly than Moldova.

No beggars or super-poor babushkas like I saw in Ukraine - older people look much better off.
