Biography[]

Starukh studied history at Zaporizhzhia National University (1995). Candidate of Historical Sciences (1998), Associate Professor (2003).[5]

In the 1998 Ukrainian parliamentary election Starukh failed to get elected to the Ukrainian parliament for People's Movement of Ukraine.[2]

In 2007 and 2008 Starukh worked in the Secretariat of the President of Ukraine regional development department.[5]

On 25 September 2008 President Viktor Yushchenko appointed Starukh Governor of Zaporizhzhia Oblast.[5] He was dismissed from this post by President Viktor Yanukovych on 18 March 2010.[5][6]

Starukh failed again to go into national politics when in the 2012 Ukrainian parliamentary election he lost in electoral district 75, located in Zaporizhzhia, to  [uk] of Party of Regions.[7][2] (Kaltsev gained 38.40% of the votes, Starukh finished second with 15.73%.[7])

In the 2014 Ukrainian parliamentary election Starukh was placed 49th on the (national) election list of All-Ukrainian Union "Fatherland", but he was not elected because the party won 17 seats on the (national) party list, and two seats in majority constituencies.[8][9]

In the 2015 Ukrainian local elections Starukh was elected a member of the Zaporizhzhia Oblast Council for All-Ukrainian Union "Fatherland".[2][10]
