He became a member of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union in 1978, and worked as a party functionary in 1980s. He has been the First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Ukraine since 1993.

His election program had classic communist content. In late 2002 Viktor Yushchenko (Our Ukraine), Oleksandr Moroz (Socialist Party of Ukraine), Yulia Tymoshenko (Yulia Tymoshenko Bloc) and Symonenko issued a joint statement concerning "the beginning of a state revolution in Ukraine". The communist left the alliance, Symonenko was against a single candidate from the alliance in the Ukrainian presidential election 2004, but the other three parties remained allies〔(Understanding Ukrainian Politics: Power, Politics, and Institutional Design ) by Paul D'Anieri, M.E. Sharpe, 2006, ISBN 978-0-7656-1811-5, page 117〕 (until July 2006).〔(Ukraine coalition born in chaos ), BBC News (July 11, 2006)〕 Symonenko's support sharply declined at the time of the 2004 presidential election. Symonenko received 5% of the votes and came in fourth place, unable to get into the controversial runoff which caused the Orange Revolution. Symonenko was re-elected to the Verkhovna Rada in the September 2007 parliamentary election.〔("The Makeup of the New Verkhovna Rada" ), ''Ukrayinska Pravda'', November 5, 2007.〕 At the opening of the new parliament's first session on 23 November 2007, he was re-elected as Chairman of the Communist Party faction.〔 During the 2010 presidential election he was the candidate of the Bloc of Left and Center-left Forces,〔(Bloc of left and center-left forces to nominate CPU Leader for Ukraine's president ), Interfax-Ukraine (October 3, 2009)〕〔(Spravedlyvist Party backs Communist leader as single candidate from left political forces at president election ), Interfax-Ukraine (October 10, 2009)〕〔 (Союз Лівих Сил підтримав кандидатуру Петра Симоненко ), Union of Leftists (October 16, 2009)〕〔 (Події за темами: XXII з’їзд Соціал-демократичної партії України(о) ), UNIAN (October 17, 2009)〕〔(Social-Democratic Party supports Symonenko as single candidate for president post from left political forces ), Kyiv Post (October 17, 2009)〕 receiving 3.54% of the votes.〔 (ЦВК оприлюднила офіційні результати 1-го туру виборів ), Gazeta.ua (January 25, 2010)〕 In the 2012 parliamentary election he was (re)-elected into parliament.〔 (Список депутатів нової Верховної Ради ), Ukrayinska Pravda (11 November 2012)〕 In the 2014 Ukrainian presidential election initially he ran as a candidate of his party on a federalization-platform that should have eventually led to a "parliamentary system without the institution of the presidency at all".〔(Leader of Communist party stands for step-by-step transition to federation followed by elimination of post of president ), Interfax-Ukraine (8 April 2014)〕 But he withdrew from the race on 16 May.〔(Communist leader Symonenko withdraws his candidacy from presidential race ), Kyiv Post (16 May 2014)〕 He stated he withdrew "to save Ukraine from arbitrariness, which takes place today" and said about the elections itself "in our opinion they will be illegitimate".〔 Later the same day, Symonenko's car was attacked by a mob with baseball bats and Molotov cocktails as he left a TV interview. He was uninjured in the incident.〔http://lenta.ru/news/2014/05/16/simonenko/〕 In the 2014 Ukrainian presidential election he received 1.51% of the vote.〔 (Results election of Ukrainian president ), Телеграф (29 May 2014)〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Petro Symonenko」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
