Lyudmyla Leontiivna Denisova (Ukrainian: Людмила Леонтіївна Денісова; Russian: Людмила Леонтьевна Денисовна) (born July 6, 1960 in Arkhangelsk, Russian SFSR) is a Ukrainian politician and the country's current Minister of Labor and Social Policy
Raised by her mother Nina Ivanovna Ankudinova (born 1934) in Arkhangelsk Denisova graduated from the Arkhangelsk Pedagogical School (1978), the Leningrad State University (1989) and the Tavria Institute of Enterprise and Law (1995).
Denisova was a teacher at a preschool in the Russian city of Arkhangelsk (school №78, 1979–80). For the next nine years Denisova held different posts in the Arkhangelsk provincial law court. In 1989, she moved to Ukraine and became the legal adviser of the Crimean Provincial Committee of Ukraine (1990–91). From 1991 she worked in the Republic of Crimea's Administration of the pension fund until 1998.
In 1998 Denisova became the Minister of Economy and Finances in the Crimean government. In Ukraine's Autonomous Republic of Crimea, she served as Minister of Economy, Minister of Finance and head of the Treasury Department. Denisova was named Politician of the Year in 2001. In 2000 Denisova was detained for 24 hours and charged with power abuse. Denisova has stated she was persecuted for refusing to sign a budget document. This criminal case was soon closed.
Denisova is a member of Batkivshchina (Yulia Tymoshenko Bloc) since 2005. During the 2006 and 2007 parliamentary elections, she was elected as a deputy to the Verkhovna Rada (Ukrainian parliament).
