Biography

Fedorov graduated from Zaporizhzhya National University.[4] In 2012 during a local student festival "2012 Student Republic", he was elected a "student mayor of Zaporizhia" at the festival replacing Andriy Bondarenko.[5]

Fedorov is the founder of SMM Studio.[6]

In 2014 Fedorov as a member of 5.10 political party unsuccessfully ran for the Verkhovna Rada in 2014 Ukrainian parliamentary election being 166th on the party list (at its tail).[7] The 5.10 political party (leader Hennadiy Balashov) did not pass the 5% passing threshold gaining only .42% during elections and placing 14th place among participating parties.

Following the 2019 Ukrainian presidential election Fedorov became an advisor to President Volodymyr Zelensky.[8]

Fedorov was on a party list of the Servant of the People political party during the 2019 Ukrainian parliamentary election,[9] yet himself is not a registered member of the party (non-partisan, according to the Central Election Commission).[10] Fedorov was elected to the Verkhovna Rada in the election.[11]

On 29 August 2019 Fedorov was appointed as Minister of Digital Transformation in the Honcharuk Government.[3] He surrendered his deputy mandate upon his ministerial appointment. Fedorov's most important project as minister was set to be the so-called "state in a smartphone" project that was aiming that by 2024 100% of all government services should be available online with 20% of services provided automatically, without the intervention of an official, and 1 online fill-in form to receive a package of services "in any life situation".[12] On 5 November 2019 Fedorov wrote on Facebook that the "state in a smartphone" project would not be funded by the state budget in 2020 (but he hoped it would be in 2021) but that it would rely "on an effective team and international technical assistance, public-private partnerships, volunteering."[13] The following day Prime Minister Oleksiy Honcharuk stressed that each government ministry had planned expenditures for digitization and that the Ministry of Digital Transformation did have a separate budget and that thus the state budget was sufficient to launch the "state in a smartphone" project in 2020.
