[When I was a child]

Born December 16, 1933 in the Great Famine («Holodomor») in Ashgabat, Federal Republic of the Soviet Union. Living in Ukraine was difficult at the time, and people were hungry, so an uncle who was in the army and participated in the battle with Basmachi summoned his sister Vladimir's mother and lived in a village near his grandparents' house. rice field. His father, Dmitry Saveliivich Parkhomenko, was a train mechanic and also the conductor of a special train carrying Stalin, and his mother, Katerina (Chernishova) Parkhomenko, supported her husband as a full-time housewife.

[Looking back at that time]

«Grandparents were both teachers and rulers to me. Thanks to them, I learned the line between what is forgiven and what is not. I learned a lot from my grandparents and I too have my life. I was unknowingly imitating their way of building. If I had done something in my life, my grandparents had a huge impact.»

[Inauguration of Minister of Higher and Secondary Education]

Vladimir Parkhomenko sees age as a very relative concept, although the country's highest level of public work has the limit of age limits, and in 1997 the Ukrainian Institute for Science, Technology and Economic Information (I became the director of UkrISTEI). At the time of his inauguration, he needed a lot of money to operate the facility and to pay for utilities, but the budget from the government was almost non-existent. In order to overcome the crisis situation, we made efforts to reform the facilities by radically changing the direction of the research institute, changing the attitude of specialists, enhancing education and producing required products one after another. As a result, in some areas UkrISTEI has established a top-level position both in Ukraine and abroad. In particular, the construction of a digital database in the field of research and development has been recognized as a national treasure of Ukraine. The institute later represented Ukraine at the STI Interstate Coordination Council and the International Council for Science and Technology Information. Vladimir served as Ukrainian plenipotentiary ambassador for these organizations.
