Stanislaw Hurenko
Stanislav Ivanovich Hurenko ( Ukrainian Станіслав Іванович Гуренко ; born May 30, 1936 in Ilowajsk , Donetsk Oblast , Ukrainian SSR ; † April 14, 2013 in Kiev ) was a Soviet and Ukrainian politician.
Hurenko studied engineering at the Technical University in Kiev , later he worked, first as chief engineer, then as operations director, in a mechanical engineering company in Donetsk . From 1976 he was a member of the party leadership of Donetsk Oblast and from 1980 he was a member of the Council of Ministers of the Ukrainian SSR. Gurenko became secretary of the Communist Party of Ukraine in 1987 and was elected to the Supreme Soviet of the USSR in 1989 and to the Verkhovna Rada of the Ukrainian SSR in March 1990 .
In June 1990 he succeeded Volodymyr Ivashko as First Secretary of the Communist Party of Ukraine. Since July 1990 he was also a member of the Politburo of the CPSU .
As the leader of the Communist Party of Germany, Hurenko spoke out on the one hand for the “national sovereignty” of Ukraine and for a “spiritual rebirth” of the country, on the other hand he wanted to prevent the country from leaving the Soviet Union. The August putsch in 1991 then led to the Ukrainian SSR leaving the USSR and the Communist Party to be temporarily banned. When the KPU was re-established in October 1992, Hurenko took over the post of First Secretary, and Petro Symonenko became party chairman . From 1998 to 2006, Hurenko was again a member of the Ukrainian parliament as a member of the KPU.
Gurenko was awarded the Order of the October Revolution and the Order of the Red Banner of Labor , among others .
