Vsevolod Serafimovich Murakhovsky (Russian: Всеволод Серафимович Мураховский; born 20 October 1926) is a Ukrainian-Russian politician who served as first deputy premier during the Gorbachev Era.

Early life and education

Murakhovsky hails from an Ukrainian family.[1] He was born in a village of Holubivka, near Kreminna (today Luhansk Oblast), on 20 October 1926.[2][3] He attended Stavropol Pedagogical Institute and graduated in 1954.[2]

Career

Murakhovsky served in the Soviet army from 1944 to 1950.[1] In 1946, he joined the communist party.[2] Then he worked as a communist party officer in the Stavropol region from 1954 to 1985.[1] He also served a senior official in the Komsomol.[4] He replaced Mikhael Gorbachev as first secretary of party's regional committee when the latter was appointed to party's central committee secretariat in Moscow in 1978.[5][6] In 1981, Murakhovsky became a full member of the party's central committee.[2]

Murakhovsky was appointed by the then Soviet president Gorbachev, who was his long-time friend, as one of the three first deputy premiers on 1 November 1985.[1][4] It was his first post in Soviet administration.[1] Murakhovsky was in charge of agriculture and related affairs[7] and also appointed chairman of the state committee for the agro-industrial complex, Gosagroprom, which was abolished in 1989.[2][8] The reason for disestablishment of the body was its proven inefficiency for which Gorbachev criticised Murakhovsky.[9] Murakhovsky's term also ended in 1989.[3][10]
