Early life
Saratov was born on 31 July 1953 in the town of Roshal, which was then part of the Russian SFSR in the Soviet Union.[1] In 1975, he graduated from the Sevastopol Instrument‑Making Institute with a specialty in automation and telemechanics.[1] After graduating, he started working as an engineer in the city of Kharkiv, before becoming an energy specialist for a plant in Prokopyevsk.[1] He then returned to Sevastopol to work at the plant "Sail", where he worked his way up until 1985 to become head of the workshop.[1] His final position before transitioning into politics was as Secretary of the Party Committee of the Sevastopol plant "Parus".[1]
Political career
In 1988, he was appointed Second Secretary of the Nakhimov District Committee within the city of Sevastopol.[1] He was then appointed Deputy Chairman of the Sevastopol City Executive Committee in August 1990.[1] Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, he worked in the private sector until 1999 as president of the corporation "Morion".[1] He returned to politics in 1999 when he became Head of the Balaklava District of Sevastopol, which he did until 2002.[1] He was then appointed Head of the State Tax Administration of Sevastopol from 2002 to 2005, and also briefly was head of the Party of Regions branch for Sevastopol.[1] In 2006, he served as Chairman of the Sevastopol City Council, and up until his election as chairman he served in this position.[1]
From 2010 to 2011 he served as a Chairperson of the Sevastopol City State Administration.[2] During the referendum on the status of Crimea in the midst of the Russian annexation of Crimea after Euromaidan, he called for voting in favor of joining Russia.
