As part of the so-called government of the illegally annexed Oblast of Donetsk, he is involved in separatist activities and responsible for the organisation of a referendum for Donetsk to become a part of Russia.

En tant que membre du soi-disant gouvernement de l’oblast de Donetsk illégalement annexé, il participe à des activités séparatistes et est responsable de l’organisation d’un référendum visant à ce que Donetsk fasse partie de la Russie.
