Dmytro Tabachnyk (Ukrainian: Дмитро Володимирович Табачник, Russian: Дмитрий Владимирович Табачник; born November 26, 1963) is a Ukrainian politician, and former science and education minister of Ukraine. Tabachnyk is among former Ukrainian officials who have had their assets frozen by EU and is wanted in Ukraine for embezzlement and abuse of office. As a fugitive he is now believed to be in Israel.
In 1986 Tabachnyk graduated from the faculty of History of Kiev University.
Initially he worked in the State Archives as a curator of materials about the Kiev chapter of the Komsomol.
In 1990 he became a delegate to the Kiev City Council. From 1991-92 he was a consultant in the Secretariat of the Verkhovna Rada. From 1993 he was in charge of Information and Press for the Cabinet of Ministers.
In 1994 he became the head of the Committee to elect Leonid Kuchma as president of Ukraine where he was accused of falsification of sociological data.
Tabachnyk was a Member of Parliament from March 1998 through March 2003 for Labour Ukraine.
In November 2002 through February 2005, he served as vice premier in the First Yanukovych Government. April 2006 through December 2007, Tabachnyk was a vice premier in the Second Yanukovych Government. He became a Party of Regions MP again following the 2007 Ukrainian parliamentary election.
In 1996 he was accused of influencing peddling the Supreme Court regarding the death penalty given to a terrorist action perpetrated by a Russian national in Simferopol.
He was forced to resign from Parliament because he illegally procured for himself the military title of colonel.
From 1997–8 he was an advisor to President Kuchma.
In 2002–2005 he became vice-premier minister of Ukraine under Victor Yanukovych. During this period he was involved with the scandal of donating letters by Ukrainian historian Mykhailo Hrushevsky to the Ukrainian archive in Kiev which had previously been stolen from the Lviv archives.
