Benefits: Thanks to her close friendship with Viktor Lukashenko's family, including joint vacations and family celebrations, Liudmila Niaronskaya's business received the highest level of patronage, along with exclusive privileges and access to state resources.

In 2003, Liudmila Niaronskaya and her business partner Artur Zubarik launched a joint fuel and transportation holding company. From 2017 to 2018, they earned hundreds of millions of dollars by re-exporting Russian liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and circumventing Ukrainian sanctions.

In 2022, Liudmila Niaronskaya started building her fishing empire. She received free Far Eastern fishing quotas through a partnership with entities close to the Rotenberg brothers. She also gained access to preferential government loans to build production facilities, particularly in the Bremino-Orsha special economic zone. Additionally, she acquired production facilities from bankrupt state-owned enterprises. According to documents from the design studio, Niaronskaya's fishing holding company will include up to seven enterprises.

Niaronskaya hired key members of Viktor Lukashenko’s family into her fishing company and gave them a stake in the business. These include Viktor Lukashenko’s son, Aliaksandr Lukashenka; Dzmitry Dziatlau, the husband of Viktoria Dziatlava; and Aliaksandr Harusau, a former high-ranking KGB officer and the husband of Liliya Lukashenka’s full sister.
