From September 1997 to January 2000 Tarasenko worked as a manager of the closed joint stock company Westmoreproduct. Between January 2000 and November 2003, he was the Acting General Director, then General Director of the Federal State Unitary Enterprise National Fish Resources. In 2002, he graduated from the Russian Academy of Public Administration under the President of Russia with a degree in State and Municipal Administration with the qualification of a Manager. In 2003, he defended his Ph.D. thesis at the Moscow State Social University on the topic "Dialogue model of managerial decision-making by a manager."

From January 2004 to June 2005, Tarasenko was acting director of the Federal State Unitary Enterprise "Murmansk Sea Fishing Port". Between July 2005 and June 2007, he became the Deputy Head of the Inspectorate for Controlling Federal Budget Expenditures on Fisheries and Water Resources of the Department for Controlling Federal Budget Expenditures on Natural Resources and Agroindustrial Complex of the Accounts Chamber of Russia. In 2006, he graduated from the Russian State Social University with a degree in accounting, analysis and audit with the qualification of an economist.

According to the results of the examination of the Dissernet network community, most of Tarasenko's doctoral dissertation "Socio-psychological patterns and mechanisms of optimal activity of a military leader" is plagiarism: the text of 280 out of 340 analyzed pages is fully or partially borrowed from the dissertation defended in 1995 L.

Politics

On 4 October 2017, Russian President Vladimir Putin appointed Tarasenko as interim governor of the Primorsky Krai to replace the retired Vladimir Miklushevsky. Tarasenko publicly supported the pension reform which was unpopular among the people.[5]

On a single voting day on 9 September 2018, in the first round of elections for the governor of the Primorsky Krai, he received 46.57% of the votes and entered the second round with the member of the Legislative Assembly of the Primorsky Krai, Andrey Ishchenko, of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation. On 11 September, President Putin met with Tarasenko, who expressed the hope that in the second round of elections "everything will be all right" for him.[6]

The second round took place on 16 September. After processing 96% of the ballots, Tarasenko was trailing about five percent behind the candidate from the Communist Party, Ischenko, but at the last moment he unexpectedly took the lead. The second round was accompanied by numerous violations, protests and accusations of both candidates against each other. After considering numerous complaints, on 19 September, the chairman of the Central Election Commission, Ella Pamfilova, recommended the regional commission to invalidate the election of the governor, which was done the next day.[7] Shortly thereafter, Tarasenko wrote a letter of resignation from the position of acting governor of the Primorsky Krai, which Putin approved on 26 September 2018, and Oleg Kozhemyako was appointed acting governor of the Primorsky Krai, and was eventually officially elected as the governor.[8]

By order of the Government of the Russian Federation dated 27 September 2018, Tarasenko was appointed Deputy Head of the Federal Agency for Maritime and River Transport.[9] Since 31 July 2020, Tarasenko has served as the chairman of the government of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia).[10]
