Oleksandr Chyensanovych Sin (Ukrainian: Олександр Чєнсанович Сін, Russian: Алекса́ндр Ченса́нович Син, romanized: Aleksandr Chensanovich Sin; born on April 12, 1961, in Ordzhonikidze, Ukrainian SSR, Soviet Union[1]) is a Ukrainian politician who was Mayor of Zaporizhzhia from late 2010 to late 2015.[2]

Biography

Sin is ethnically Korean.[3] In 1983 Sin graduated from the Physics Department of the Kiev State University, in 2001 he graduated as economist in Zaporizhzhia State Engineering Academy, in 2005 he graduated as a state management magister in National Academy for Public Administration under the President of Ukraine.[1][4] After a career in the Soviet industry he became deputy mayor of Zaporizhzhia from 1994 until 1999 and until 2006 in the city's administration.[1] From 2006 until his election as Mayor Sin held various high post in the Zaporizhzhia Regional State Administration.[1]

In October 2010 Sin was elected Mayor of Zaporizhzhia as a candidate of Batkivschyna.[5] In December 2010 Sin left this party "so that no political context is a source of provocations and insinuations about me. I am grateful to the party, that it supported my decision".[6]

In March 2012 Sin joined the Party of Regions.[7]

The Party of Regions expelled Sin, since they said he was responsible for "policy failure and the collapse of the urban economy", on 24 February 2014.[8] The same day Sin refused to resign from his post at the request of protesters of Euromaidan Zaporizhzhia,[9] who were occupying the Zaporizhzhia Oblast regional state administration building at that time.[10]

Sin unsuccessfully stood for re-election as a nonpartisan politician[11] in the 2015 mayoral election, receiving 9% of the vote in the first round of the election.[12][13][14][15] He was succeeded by Volodymyr Buriak.[16]
