Anton Luckievich
Anton Ivanavich Lutskyevich (Belarusian: Антон Іванавіч Луцкевіч, Polish: Antoni Łuckiewicz; 1884 – 1942?) was a Belarusian publisher, journalist, literary critic, historian and politician. He served as the Prime Minister of Belarus in 1918.
He was born on 29 January 1884 in Šiauliai, Lithuania to a Belarusian family. His brother Ivan Lutskyevich was also a politician. He began working in journalism, such as history, publishing and critics. He was raised as a Roman Catholic.
After the Belarusian People's Republic was proclaimed on 25 March 1918, Lutskyevich was appointed prime minister.[1] His predecessor was Raman Skirmunt and he was replaced by Vaclau Lastouski.
The Belarusian People's Republic was short-lived. In 1920, Lutskyevich settled in Vilnius, then in Poland, where he worked as a secondary school teacher and newspaper publisher. He remained active politically until 1933.[1]
He was arrested by the Soviet authorities in September 1939, and officially died in Kazakhstan in 1946.[1] He is however said to have died near Saratov on 23 March 1942.
