Political career

In the 1998 Ukrainian parliamentary election Remeniuk was elected to the Ukrainian parliament (Verkhovna Rada) as number 17 on the party list of Hromada.[1] In 1999 Remeniuk moved to the party Batkivshchyna, he became the party leader of its Autonomous Republic of Crimea branch.[1]

In the 2002 Ukrainian parliamentary election Remeniuk was reelected to parliament on the election list of Yulia Tymoshenko Bloc, being number 21 on that list.[1] He left the parliamentary faction of the Yulia Tymoshenko Bloc in November 2022.[4]

In the 2006 Ukrainian parliamentary election Remeniuk headed the party list of Party of Putin Policy, but the party won 0.12% of the vote and no seats.[5]

In December 2008 Party of Putin Policy changed its name to One Rus.[7] In the 2012 Ukrainian parliamentary election its candidate Remeniuk[1] in Ukraine's 10th electoral district won 5.15% of the votes and thus he again was not elected to parliament.[8][9] In an interview in 2012 Remeniuk claimed that "the main perspective of Ukraine is integration with the Russian Federation and Belarus".[1]
