Career

edit

Since the start of the Russo-Ukrainian war, he was an active supporter of the Russian forces and the holding of a referendum in the Luhansk People's Republic (LPR).

On May 18, 2014, he was elected a deputy of the first convocation of the People's Council of the Luhansk People's Republic. During the entire period of hostilities in the summer of 2014, he was in Luhansk, engaged in parliamentary and humanitarian activities, and did not leave the city even disregarding the Russo-Ukrainian conflict.[3]

In September 2014, he came from Luhansk to the city of Lutuhyne and became acting leader in Lutuhyne Raion and the city. In the same month, the deputies of the district officially appointed Degtyarenko as chairman of the Lutuhyne district council.[4]

Since April 1, 2016 he was the Chairman of the People's Council of the Luhansk People's Republic and also approved by the Deputy Chairman of the Public Movement "Peace to Luhanshchina" for work with the People's Council of the LPR. He received 40 votes in his favor.[3]

On December 21, 2017, he was unanimously, by 33 deputies present, dismissed from the post of chairman of the People's Council of the LPR because he had "improper organization of the work of the people's council".[3]
