Political elite of Ukraine: Vyacheslav Kirilenko

Vyacheslav Kirilenko is a Ukrainian politician who has been a member of the Supreme Council of Ukraine for several years now. His political career began at a fairly young age, joining the ranks of the party "Narodny Rukh" in 1993. After 5 years, he became a popular candidate in the Supreme Council (III convocation), running from the NRU.

Biography: birth and youth

Vyacheslav Anatolievich Kirilenko (7.06.1968) was born in a small village of Polesskoe, which is located on the territory of the Kiev region.

From 1984 to 1987 he was a cadet of the Kherson seaworthy school. He received his higher education in 1993, after graduating from the Kyiv National Taras Shevchenko University - the Faculty of Philosophy. In the same educational institution in 1996 he graduated from the graduate school. In 1997, Vyacheslav Kirilenko defended his thesis and received a Ph.D. in Philosophy.

From the end of 1989 until the spring of 1992, he was a member of the Ukrainian Student Union and served as chairman of the secretariat between 1992 and 1993.

Active participation in protest actions

In the fall of 1990, a student hunger strike was held in Kiev, which was called a "revolution on granite." The strike led to the resignation of Vitali Masol (chairman of the Council of Ministers of Ukraine). This event accelerated the signing of the document on the proclamation of Ukraine as an independent state.

One of the initiators of the student protest was Vyacheslav Kirilenko. The biography of the politician contains other equally significant events that changed the political situation in the country.

So, in 2004, being a member of the Our Ukraine party, he actively participates in the revolution, which was nicknamed the "orange" one. Protests in 2013-2014, which served as the removal of President Yanukovych from power, arose after the failure to sign the document on association with the European Union. This led to a wave of student strikes, which turned into a movement called the "revolution of dignity." Vyacheslav Kirilenko, along with other opposition politicians, took an active part in the protests.
