Who is Andrei Chernetsky?
Andrei Chernetsky was appointed the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Belarus to the Republic of Korea on September 20, 2021. According to the information on the Embassy’s website, in 1992 he graduated from the Belarusian State Polytechnic Academy with a degree in Electrical Systems, and then for some time was a teacher at his alma mater.
From 1997 to 2021, his biography includes «military service in the state security bodies of the Republic of Belarus». It is known that at this time, he headed the main directorate of the KGB. Probably, this explains the fact that during the appointment to the post of ambassador, the state news did not write anything about his biography.
