Early life
editViacheslav Kutovi was born April 24, 1971, in Boyarka, Kyiv-Sviatoshyn Raion, Kyiv Oblast.[1] His father, Hryhorii Mykhailovych, was a builder and his mother Nadiia Mykolaievna was an accountant.[1]
Kutovyi served in the Army from 1992 to 1995.[1]
Following his military service, Kutovyi studied at the Ivano-Frankivsk National Technical University of Oil and Gas and later at Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, where he received a Ph.D. in 2005.[1]
Political activity
editFrom 2010 to 2012, he served as a deputy of the Vyshneve City Council in the Kyiv-Sviatoshyn Raion, Kyiv Oblast.[citation needed]
From 12 December 2012 to 27 November 2014, he was a People's Deputy of Ukraine of the 7th Convocation from the All-Ukrainian Union "Fatherland", elected in single-member constituency No. 95. He received 26.90% of the vote.[2] He was Chairman of the Subcommittee on Gas Industry Issues within the Committee of the Verkhovna Rada on Fuel and Energy Complex, Nuclear Policy, and Nuclear Safety.[1]
In June 2013, Kutovyi left Batkivshchyna, a move described by the Razumkov Centre as Kutovyi being "poached" by the Yanukovych government to weaken the parliamentary opposition.[3]
Additionally, in 2013 Kutovyi, along with 148 other people's deputies of Ukraine, signed an appeal by deputies from the Party of Regions and Communist Party of Ukraine to the Polish Sejm, asking to "recognize the Volyn Tragedy as genocide against the Polish population and condemn the criminal acts of Ukrainian nationalists."[citation needed] This action was criticized by the first president of Ukraine, Leonid Kravchuk, as national treason.
