Anatoliy Vladimirovich Kaminski (Ukrainian: Анато́лій Володи́мирович Камі́нський, Russian: Анатолий Владимирович Каминский; born 15 March 1950) is an ethnic Ukrainian politician from Transnistria, former speaker of the Supreme Council of Transnistria and former chairman of Obnovlenie.

Early life

Kaminski was born in 1950 in eastern Russia, but his family was of Ukrainian-Polish descent. His family moved to the Moldavian SSR in 1957. Kaminski studied in Odesa, Ukraine, at the M.V. Lomonosov Odesa Institute of Technology. He subsequently worked as a manager at several dairy plants in the Moldavian SSR.

Political career

Kaminski's first political office was as a member of the council of the city of Rîbnița from 1990 until 2000, when he was elected to parliament. In 2005, he was re-elected in an election that proved to be a victory for his party. Kaminski was subsequently elected as vice-speaker, with Yevgeny Shevchuk, also of the Obnovlenie party, becoming speaker.

On 22 July 2009, Shevchuk resigned as speaker and Kaminski was elected unopposed to replace him. The newly elected vice-speaker was Mikhail Burla, chairman of Obnovlenie.[1]

President of South Ossetia Eduard Kokoity awarded Kaminski the "Order of Friendship" on 12 March 2010, "for a great personal contribution to the development of friendship between the peoples of South Ossetia and Transnistria, merits in strengthening inter-parliamentary cooperation and for his 60-year birthday".[2]

In December 2011, Kaminski ran for president of Transnistria as the candidate of Obnovlenie.[3][4] In the first round of elections, he received 26.48% of the vote, narrowly making it into the second round of voting. Yevgeny Shevchuk, the former chairman of the Supreme Soviet, received the most support with 38.53%, while sitting president, Igor Smirnov, came in third with 24.82%.[5][6] In the election, United Russia, the ruling political party of Russia, supported Kaminski's campaign.[7][8]

Personal life

Kaminski is married and has two children.
