Victor Balogais the Head of the Secretary of the President of Ukraine, has replaced Oleg Rybachuk on this post.
In August 2006 after appointment of ministers in new Yanukovych government Baloga became the minister concerning emergency situations and on affairs of protection of the population from consequences of Chernobyl accident on a quota of Nasha Ukraina. Victor Baloga headed the Ministry of Emergency Measures in the previous government of the party college Ehanurov. Thus having worked in Ministry practically a year andhaving sustained management changes, now has replaced the governmental office with the post of the State secretary.
Today Baloga isthe member of the fraction "Our Ukraine". Victor Ivanovich began the political career in the ranks of SDPU (u) being already a successful businessman. His first steps with SDPU(u) on the political arena of Ukraine were quite successful. In 1998 Baloga becomes the chairman of Mukachevo city and in a year holds the post of the governor of the Zakarpatya area. However despite perspective advancement on an office ladder this post has brought also a number of problems to Baloga.
In particular the conflict with the party colleague Ivan Rizak who after Baloga`s promotion became his assistant ended with his leaving SDPU (u). The charges of the ex-governor in illegal using budgetary funds followed after that have threatened the further career of Baloga especially when a part of them became the basis for excitation of some criminal cases in the Office of Public Prosecutor. Elections of Mukachevo mayor in 2004 became one more sensational incident in which the minister of emergency measures has been got mixed up.
But such reputation has not prevented the Zakarpatya ex-leader to head one of the governmental departments and now to hold the post of the Secretary of the President. Baloga is married. He has two sons and a daughter.
