Vsevolod Serafimovich Murakhovsky (Russian: Всеволод Серафимович Мураховский; 20 October 1926 – 12 January 2017) was a Ukrainian-Soviet politician who served as first deputy premier during the leadership of Soviet general secretary Mikhail Gorbachev.
[1] He was born in a village, Holubivka, near Kreminna (Luhansk Oblast), on 20 October 1926.
[2] Murakhovsky's term as first secretary of the Stavropol Komsomol Committee ended in November 1985 when he was appointed by Mikhail Gorbachev as one of the three first deputy premiers.
[1] Murakhovsky was in charge of agriculture and related affairs[9] and was also appointed chairman of the state committee for the agro-industrial complex, Gosagroprom, which was abolished in 1989.
[2][10] The reason for its disestablishment was its proven inefficiency for which Gorbachev criticised Murakhovsky.
