Anatolii Volodymyrovych Mohyliov (Ukrainian: Анатолій Володимирович Могильов, Russian: Анатолий Владимирович Могилёв; born April 6, 1955 in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, in the Russian SFSR of the Soviet Union) is the Prime Minister of Crimea since November 8, 2011[4] and former Ukrainian Minister of Internal Affairs.[5]
Mohyliov is a police major-general. He headed the Interior Ministry's office in Makiyivka until February 2005. He earlier held the post of chief of the ministry's office in Artemivsk.[5] In 2007, he served as deputy interior minister and chief of the Ukrainian Interior Ministry's main office in Crimea.[5] (Despite Ukrainian policeman are forbidden to be actively involved with politics[6]) Mohyliov headed the Crimean campaign headquarters of presidential candidate Viktor Yanukovych during the 2010 presidential election campaign.[5]
On March 16, 2010 Mustafa Djemilev reminded the Minister of Internal Affairs of Anatolii Mohyliov official xenophobic statements in the local press against the Crimean Tatar population in the past for which the Mejlis (Crimean Tatar parliament) has already prepared a petition to the Prosecutor General of Ukraine.[7][8] If they fail to condemn Mohyliov's statements, the Mejlis will consider filing in a complaint with the European Court for Human Rights in Strasbourg.[8] The Kharkiv Human Rights Group has criticized his period as Interior Minister.[9]
A resolution on the dismissal of Mohyliov did not receive enough votes (141 out of 450) in the Ukrainian Parliament on June 15, 2010.[10]
On November 7, 2011 President Viktor Yanukovych nominated Mohyliov as Prime Minister of Crimea.[11][12] The Supreme Council of Crimea appointed him to this post the next day.[4] Mustafa Djemilev named this appointment "stupid[13]; Mohyliov is remembered for praising the Stalin-era deportations of the Crimean Tatars, as well as the shooting of unarmed people in 2007 by police under his command".[9] Mohyliov was elected the leader of the Crimean branch of Party of Regions on 29 November 2011.[14][3]
