[1] Goloded was born into a family of Belarusian peasants in the village of Stary Krivets, Chernihiv province.

He worked from the age of seven as a shepherd, farm hand, auxiliary worker, and later as a miner in Kryvorozha.

Due to the risk of the death penalty for anti-government actions, he deserted from the front and returned to Stary Krivets, where he oversaw the seizure and division of landlord property.

On December 6, 1930, he signed the resolution of the Council of People's Commissars of the BSSR expelling academicians Vaclau Lastouski, Vladimir Picheta, Jazep Losik, Ściapan Niekraševič, Maksim Haretski, and Uladzimir Dubouka from the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus "as enemies of the proletarian revolution".

He was arrested on 14 June 1937 during the Great Purge, accused of participating in the right-wing Trotskyist bloc and the Ukrainian national-fascist organization.
