Biography edit
He was born in 1968 at Ostrozhets in the Mlyniv Raion of Rivne Oblast, in what was the Ukrainian SSR of the Soviet Union.[1]
In 1992, uniting the group of comrades from his institute, created a private enterprise "Continuum" in his native village and became its director.
In 2002, he was elected to the Verkhovna Rada after winning a single-member districts seat as a member of the Agrarian Party of Ukraine in Manevychi.[2] In December 2010, he ranked 41st on the Kyiv Post's list of the richest people in Ukraine.[3] In the 2012 Ukrainian parliamentary election and 2014 Ukrainian parliamentary election, he was elected back into parliament as a non-partisan candidate again after winning the single-member districts seat of Manevychi.[2] He was the founder and head of the parliamentary group People's Will since its foundation on 27 February 2014 (until 27 November 2014 this group was called Sovereign European Ukraine).[4][5][6][7][1]
In January 2014, during the voting for the so-called "dictatorial laws", his vote was counted as "for", but within a week he submitted an application with a request to consider the result of his vote "did not vote" and by participating in the preparation of a bill to repeal the said laws.[8][9]
On 26 July 2015, he received a head injury during a horse-riding accident in Lutsk, Ukraine.[10] He died on 12 August 2015 while in a coma in a hospital in Zürich, Switzerland afterwards.[11][12]
