Oleksandr Peklushenko
Oleksandr Peklushenko (Template:Lang-uk; August 29, 1954, Zaporizhia – March 12, 2015, Soniachne, Zaporizhia Raion) was a Ukrainian politician and public figure, member of the Verkhovna Rada of IV, V, VI convocation, chairman of Zaporizhzhya Regional State Administration in 2011–2014 and member of the Political Council of the Party of Regions.
On March 12, 2015 he was found dead in his house in the village of Sonyachne, near Zaporizhzhya city. He had suffered a gunshot wound to the neck and authorities said initial inquiries pointed to suicide, but other theories were being investigated including murder. Five other pro-Yanukovych officials also died in mysterious circumstances in the past 6 weeks before his death.[1]
In 2003 he received Honorary Diploma of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine.
