Biography
The Early Years and First Work
Born on January 30, 1959 in the city of Kramatorsk, Stalin Region of the Ukrainian SSR, in the family of factory worker Nikolai Demyanovich and mathematics teacher Alisa Nikolaevna.
In parallel with his studies at a comprehensive school, he graduated from a music school in piano, and played in a school ensemble. Candidate for a master of sports in swimming.
In 1976 he left for Odessa , where after a year of study at the Odessa Higher Naval Engineering School he got a job as a sailor on the Antarctic fishing trawler . A year later, he was drafted into the army. Before the call he got married. According to Rzhavsky, he met his wife Larisa on the bus, where he drove a bully from her. [1] After demobilization, he worked as a grinder in other specialties requiring high qualifications.

He was awarded the badge "Miner's Glory" III degree. After a serious leg injury, he left the mine and moved to work as a procurer in the Anthracite city consumer society.
Higher Education and Your Business

In 1989-1996, he was president of the Coral production cooperative association, Coral research and production company, Coral private firm, Coral Industrial Group OJSC, Krasny Luch, Lugansk Region. One of the directions is the development of machines for the production of building materials, for which three design bureaus were opened.
... the state saw the sprouts of a new capitalism ... And here came a resolution to increase taxes from 3% to 60%, that is, 20 times. Business immediately went into the shadows, taxes generally stopped paying. This did not suit me, and instead of ignoring taxes, I just looked where they were less. Such an industry was innovation: those who invested in production were exempted from taxes. Then he began to deal with building materials, equipment for their production. Several patents for new equipment have been registered since the USSR. In 1993, they received great recognition in Italy and it seemed to me that it costs money to invest in small production. Our number of enterprises has increased to 100. [2]

In 1997, he founded the public organization "United Family" ( Ukrainian: ина United Homeland , which he headed. In 1998, he nominated himself for the post of People’s Deputy of Ukraine in majoritarian constituency No. 46 in Donetsk region.

In February 1999, "One Family" was transformed into a political party of the All-Ukrainian Association "One Family" and Alexander Rzhavsky was elected its head. In this capacity, on October 31, 1999, he participated in the first round of the presidential election .
Elections 2002-2006
In anticipation of the March 31, 2002 parliamentary elections , Alexander Rzhavsky initiated the creation of the “For Yushchenko!” Election bloc. He also headed the election list of the bloc registered on January 11, 2002, leaving Yushchenko without first place. [5] However, after the lawsuit by Viktor Yushchenko himself, who has already headed the list of the Our Ukraine Block , on February 14 of the same year, the For Yushchenko! Block was unregistered.

In the March 26, 2006 parliamentary elections , Rzhavsky spoke at number 1 on the electoral list of the Non-Party Bloc "Sun" , which did not overcome the 3% passing barrier.
At the Kiev City Administration
In 2006, the head of the Kiev city state administration Leonid Chernovetsky suggested that Alexander Rzhavsky first become his adviser, and then deputy on housing and communal services. In the role of Acting Deputy, Rzhavsky took the initiative to increase the salaries of ZhEK employees, while expanding their responsibilities, in particular by adding public order protection and participation in quick response dispatch services. In addition, Rzhavsky came up with an original initiative to introduce a “communal card” for those who live in Kiev without a registration.
The question is rather in the person’s motivation when he will buy this card. He must understand that it is unfair, living in Kiev, to use his services for free. [6]
The funds from the introduction of the communal card will be directed to the implementation of the Clean Capital city program, which provides for the provision of janitors with housing in the houses near which they work. According to Mr. Rzhavsky, everyone who will come to the capital to earn money will have to buy a communal card. “I do not mind that nonresident people work in Kiev, but I believe that everyone should pay for utilities,” said Rzhavsky. [7]
In his opinion, with the introduction of such a card each month, the city could additionally receive about 20 million UAH. Nevertheless, the KSCA refused this initiative, calling it "personal opinion and the initiative of Rzhavsky." [eight]
On July 28, 2007, Rzhavsky got into a serious accident, underwent several operations, and withdrew from active political activity during the recovery period.
Charity
