Politics
Borodai refers to himself as "professional consultant" with expertise in ethnic conflict. “I have resolved all kinds of complicated conflict situations,” he told journalists.[6]
In 2002, according to the Moscow Times newspaper, he also dismissed reports that he had been appointed a deputy director of Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) as a hoax arranged for his 30th birthday.[6]
Crimea
Borodai worked as an advisor to appointed Crimea governor Sergei Aksyonov.[6] Borodai claims he worked as a “political strategist” during the restitution of the Crimea to Russia, and states that the political forces that facilitated the restitution are one in the same with those of the Donetsk Republic: "Naturally the people who set up these popular movements and were the initiators are the same people, they are connected to each other...So when I finished the work in Crimea I automatically...came here to work in southeast Ukraine.”[6]
Donetsk
Following the 2014 Donetsk status referendum he was appointed Prime Minister of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic. [8]
