life and career

Tabachnik graduated from the Taras Shevchenko National University in Kiev in 1986 with a degree in history . He then switched to politics and was initially a supporter of the Ukrainian President Leonid Kuchma . From 1998 to 2003 he was a member of the Ukrainian parliament, the Verkhovna Rada . He was then in the first Yanukovych cabinet from September 2003 to February 2005 and in the second Yanukovych cabinet from August 2006 to December 2007, the country's deputy prime minister.

After the Party of Regions won the election, he was appointed Minister of Education, Science and Sport in the Azarov cabinet . Tabachnik had set himself the task of strengthening the Russian language in the education system of Ukraine after it had been pushed back in some cases since the country's independence. Critics of the nationally-minded opposition accuse him of promoting the suppression of the Ukrainian language and culture. In western Ukraine, there were protests against the appointment Tabatschniks while there were public demonstrations of solidarity in the Russian-speaking areas of the country. Due to the events of the Euromaidan on February 27, 2014, he was replaced in the office of the Minister of Education by the University President Serhiy Kwit .

On March 6, 2014, the Council of the European Union in Brussels imposed restrictive measures against Dmytro Tabachnyk with Regulation 208/2014. This is justified with the criminal prosecution of Tabachnyk for the investigation of crimes related to the embezzlement of Ukrainian public funds and the illegal transfer of these funds abroad.
