Sergei Aksjonow was born in what is now the Moldovan city ​​of Bălți . His father was an officer in the Soviet Army . After nationalist and anti-Russian tendencies had spread in Moldova since the mid-1980s, Aksyonov moved to Simferopol in the Crimea in 1989 . There the then 17-year-old enrolled at a military academy and planned to pursue a military career like his father. After the Soviet Union dissolved, Aksjonow became a Ukrainian citizen and worked from then on as an entrepreneur. He refused to serve in the Ukrainian armed forces .

From 1993 to 2008 he worked in various companies in the Crimea. The family man then became active in Ukrainian politics as a member of pro-Russian parties from 2008. 2009 put Mikhail Bacharjow, deputy chairman of the Russian Crimean society, police files from the 1990s before, is to emerge showing that Aksyonov then called Goblin of mafia association Salem have listened. Aksyonov's complaint against Bacharev was dismissed. He sees the allegations as part of a campaign against him.

Sergei Aksyonov has been a member of the Russian Unity Party (Русское Единство) in the Parliament of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea since 2010 . In the parliamentary elections in 2012 , he received 9% of the vote in his district.

On February 26, 2014, around 10,000 Crimean Tatars demonstrating prevented the parliament of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea from holding a special session. A referendum on the whereabouts or detachment of Crimea from Ukraine should be voted on at this extraordinary plenary session . The referendum was scheduled for May 25, 2014, the day of the early presidential elections in Ukraine. However, there were too few MPs in the plenary for a valid vote after several opposition politicians had not registered as present.

On February 27, the parliament building in the capital Simferopol was occupied by a 30-man pro-Russian militia without a badge. Because of the occupation, Thursday was declared a day off by the Council of Ministers and the employees were sent home again. As a result, the plenary session on the referendum, which had been prevented the day before, took place. According to information on the Parliament's website and its press office, the decision for the referendum on May 25, 2014 on the future status of Crimea was adopted with 61 votes out of 64. At this meeting, the regional government of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea under Prime Minister Anatoly Mohilev was declared deposed, with 55 of the 64 members of the 100-member parliament present voting for the deposition of the previous government of the Party of Regions. Mohilev had only been appointed Prime Minister of Crimea by then President Viktor Yanukovych in 2011 . MEPs elected Sergei Aksyonov, chairman of the Russian Unity Party, to succeed Mohilev as chairman of the Crimean Council of Ministers . According to the Parliamentary Secretariat, he received a slim majority of 53 votes in the vote.

The votes were not open to the public; only MPs invited by Aksyonov were allowed to vote. They were searched and had to hand over their cell phones. There were armed men with rocket launchers in the room during the meeting. According to research by the Aftenposten, there were only 36 MPs present, too few entitled to vote to meet the quorum of 51 members for the quorum. Votes were counted from members of parliament who were absent. This affects at least 10 of the votes cast, for which duplicates of voting cards stolen from Parliament's safe were used. Some MPs whose votes were recorded were not even in Simferopol.

The appointment of Aksyonov as Prime Minister of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea was classified as unlawful by the interim government in Kiev, whereas, according to the Autonomous Government in Simferopol, the Chairman of the Supreme Council (Verkhovna Rada) of the Crimea Vladimir Konstantinov agreed by telephone with the previous Ukrainian President Yanukovych, that Sergei Aksyonov will be appointed as the new chairman of the Crimean Council of Ministers. According to Article 37 of the Constitution of Ukraine, the Chairman of the Council of Ministers is appointed by the Speaker of the Parliament of Crimea (that is, the Chairman of the Supreme Council), this appointment being made in agreement with the Ukrainian President. The appointment is then approved by the Parliament of the Crimean Autonomous Republic.

In the meantime, the Crimean Council of Ministers has brought the date for the referendum forward to March 30 and a little later to March 16. On March 2, 2014, Aksyonov issued a statement claiming that large parts of the Ukrainian troops stationed in Crimea had submitted to the new government of Crimea.

On March 10, he announced that in addition to Ukrainian, Russian and Crimean Tatar would be the official languages ​​of Crimea.

In March 2014, the US government and the European Union put Aksyonov on their sanction lists as a result of the Ukraine crisis , which banned Aksyonov from entering the United States and the member states of the European Union .
