Vasyl Heorhiyovych Dzharty (June 3, 1958 – August 17, 2011) was a Ukrainian politician. He served as the Prime Minister of Crimea, which is also known as the Chairman of the Crimean Council of Ministers, from March 17, 2010, until his death in August 2011.
Dzharty was born in 1958, in Rozdolne, a village in the Starobesheve district of Donetsk Oblast in what was then the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic. His father was a miner.
He completed his studies at Donetsk Polytechnic Institute. He then obtained a master's degree from Donetsk National Technical University in public administration.
Dzharty served as the Donetsk Oblast's first deputy governor. He then became Mayor of Makiivka, a city in the Donetsk Oblast of Ukraine. He was elected to the Verkhovna Rada, Ukraine's national parliament, serving during its fifth and sixth sessions as a member of the Party of Regions. From 2006-07, Dzharty served as Ukraine's Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources.
Dzharty became the Prime Minister of Crimea on March 17, 2010, succeeding outgoing Prime Minister Viktor Plakida. The Speaker of the Supreme Council of Crimea, Volodymyr Konstantinov, had nominated Dzharty, a member of the Party of Regions, as Crimea's next prime minister and chairman of the council of ministers. As required by the Ukrainian Constitution, the President of Ukraine, Viktor Yanukovych, had to personally approve of Dzharty's nomination, which he did. The Supreme Council of Crimea, which acts as Crimea's parliament, overwhelmingly approved Dzharty's nomination on March 17, 2011. 82 out of the 89 members of the Crimean parliament voted in favor of Dzharty's appointment as Prime Minister. Dzharty simultaneously served as chairman of the Crimean branch of the Party of Regions.
