Petro Kostiantynovych Kravchuk (Ukrainian: Петро́ Костянти́нович Кравчу́к; 11 July 1962 – 3 August 2022) was a Ukrainian politician. A member of Ukraine – Forward!, he served as a People's Deputy of Ukraine from 2006 to 2008.[1]
Early life
Kravchuk was born on 11 July 1962 in the village of Pidrizhzhia, which was then part of the Ukrainian SSR in the Soviet Union.[2] In 1979, after completing secondary school he started working as a laborer.[2] He first worked as a driver for the kolkhoz "Volyn" in Kovel, and then for the kolkhoz "Pivnichnyi" in the Miyakinsky District (within the Russian SFSR).[2] Afterwards, he completed his mandatory service in the Soviet Armed Forces in Lutsk, working as a boiler operator, before becoming a driver and worker again for Lutsk Railway Station Market.[2] In 1991, he graduated from Lviv Polytechnic National University with a specialty in automobiles and automative management, and also received the qualification to be a mechanical engineer.[2]
After graduating, he worked as Deputy Director of the MP "Mairus" until 1994, and then as General Director of the Ukrainian-German JV "KLV" until 2001.[2] He also later was the Director for the Ukrainian‑German JV “Volyn‑Trans" and the LLC “Minmat Reverberi".[2]
Political career
In the 1998 Ukrainian parliamentary election, he ran as a candidate for the Verkhovna Rada on the People's Democratic Party of Ukraine (KhDPU) ticket and was no. 26 on their party list.[2] He later attempted to run again in the 2002 Ukrainian parliamentary election as a self-nominated candidate, but did obtain a seat either.[2] He finally successfully won a seat in the 2006 Ukrainian parliamentary election after joining the Yulia Tymoshenko Bloc, which he was no. 83 on their party list for.[2] Upon joining the Rada, he became a member of the Yulia Tymoshenko Bloc faction, but resigned his mandate early on 12 June 2007.[2] However, he was reelected during the 2007 Ukrainian parliamentary election, again for the Yulia Tymoshenko Bloc, after being no. 68 on the party list.[2]
