Lukashisms (Russian: лукашизмы, лукашенкизмы) are peculiar utterances of President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko, a frequent target of Belarusian and Russian humor. Apart from being gaffes, the humor of Lukashisms relies on the peculiarity of Lukashenko's speech: to a significant degree it contains elements of trasianka, a mixture of Belarusian and Russian languages and accents, seen as a sign of a poorly educated rural dweller, "kolkhoznik".
