Danilov was Mayor of Luhansk from 1994 to 1997.[5] Aged 31 years, was the youngest mayor of Luhansk in the history of the city.[1]

In the 1998 Ukrainian parliamentary election Danilov unsuccessfully tried to win a parliamentary seat in electoral district 103 as an independent candidate.[6]

In 1999, Danilov graduated from the University of Luhansk as a licensed history teacher.[1] In 2000, Danilov received a master's degree in management from the East Ukrainian Volodymyr Dahl National University. In 2000, he also received a law degree from the Luhansk State University of Internal Affairs.[5]

In the early 2000s, Danilov was a member of the party Yabluko (that during his membership was renamed Party of Free Democrats).[1] In the 2002 Ukrainian parliamentary election he was again unsuccessful in his attempt to get elected to parliament on the party list of this party.[6]

In 2000, Danilov was an adviser to the parliamentary Committee on Industrial Policy and Entrepreneurship.[1] From October 2001 to February 2005, he founded the Luhansk Initiative and was its chairman. At the same time, he was as Deputy Director of the Institute for European Integration and Development.[7][1]

Political views[]

In October 2021 Danilov stated that he believed that it would be better for Ukraine to be a presidential republic than a parliamentary-presidential one.[13] Danilov argued that it would only be "possible to make a leap forward" with a "responsible person who understands what she is going for."[13] Ukraine is a parliamentary-presidential republic.[14][13]
