Oleksiy Danilov net worth

Oleksiy Miacheslavovych Danilov was born on September 7, 1962 (age 61 years) in Krasnyi Luch, Luhansk Oblast, Ukrainian SSR, Soviet Union. He graduated in 1981 from the Starobilsk State Farm Technical School with a degree in veterinary medicine.

Danilov began working in 1981 as a veterinary in a farm in Voroshilovgrad (currently Luhansk). From 1983 to 1987, he worked as a veterinarian in Voroshilovgrad’s park “1 May”. From 1987 to 1991 he worked as a private veterinarian. From 1991 to 1994 he was engaged in private entrepreneurship.

Political career

Oleksiy Danilov was Mayor of Luhansk from 1994 to 1997. Aged 31 years, he was the youngest ever mayor of Luhansk. In the 1998 Ukrainian parliamentary election Danilov unsuccessfully ran for a parliamentary seat in electoral district 103 as an independent candidate.

Danilov graduated from the University of Luhansk in 1999 as a licensed history teacher. In 2000, he received a master’s degree in management from the East Ukrainian Volodymyr Dahl National University. In 2000, he also received a law degree from the Luhansk State University of Internal Affairs.

In the early 2000s, Danilov was a member of the Yabluko party (which was renamed Party of Free Democrats during his membership). In the 2002 Ukrainian parliamentary election he ran unsuccessfully for parliament on the party list.

In 2000, Danilov was an adviser to the parliamentary Committee on Industrial Policy and Entrepreneurship. From October 2001 to February 2005, he founded the Luhansk Initiative and was its chairman. At the same time, he was as deputy director of the Institute for European Integration and Development (IEID).

Danilov served as the Governor of Luhansk Oblast in 2005. He was elected to the Verkhovna Rada in 2006 for the Yulia Tymoshenko Bloc. In the 2007 Ukrainian parliamentary election Danilov ran for re-election to parliament for the Party of Free Democrats, but was again unsuccessful. After leaving parliament he returned to his previous position of deputy director of the IEID.

Oleksiy Danilov rose to national prominence on the strength of appearances “on Ukraine’s highly-rated national prime time talk show, where he takes on the country’s oligarchs, illegal privatizations, the machinations of Russia’s fifth column in Ukraine, and “treasonous” votes in past parliaments.”

He was Deputy Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council from 23 July to 3 October 2019. Since 3 October 2019 he is the Secretary (deputy Chairman, President Volodymyr Zelensky is the formal chairman) of this board. On 24 January 2022, Danilov said that the movement of Russian troops near Ukraine’s border was “not news” and “we don’t see any grounds for statements about a full-scale offensive on our country”.

He urged men eligible for mobilisation to not “hide behind a woman’s skirt” during the Russian invasion of Ukraine. After the 2022 Crimean Bridge explosion Danilov posted a video of the burning bridge alongside a black-and-white clip of Marilyn Monroe singing “Happy Birthday, Mr. President” – a reference to Putin turning 70 the same day.

On 6 April 2023, Danilov stated about a possible peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine, which would freeze the conflict and leave the annexed territories of Ukraine, including Crimea, in Russia’s possession, that “If Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky proposes peace talks between Kyiv and Moscow, he will commit political suicide.”

In October 2021, Danilov said that he believed that it would be better for Ukraine to be a presidential republic than a parliamentary-presidential one. Danilov argued that it would only be “possible to make a leap forward” with a “responsible person who understands what they are going for.”

Wife

Oleksiy Danilov is married to Lyudmyla Volodymyrovna Danilova (Peregudova). Danilov and his wife have four children and seven grandchildren. His granddaughter Mariya (known as Masha Danilova) is a singer.
