A former Afghan veteran and a man of principled civic stance, his wife, Oksana Lisitsa, is the director of the Vysochanskaya Basic School and a member of the 28th District Council. Vladimir Lisitsa was born in Ukraine, and his profile picture on Odnoklassniki features a Ukrainian flag.

V. Krivonosov; deputy of the House of Representatives of the National Assembly of the Republic of Belarus, A. S. Gaidukevich; chairman of the Glubokoye district executive committee, A. N. Shubsky; and A. G. Lukashenko."
