He has been the First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Ukraine since 1993.

He is also the chairman of the Communist Party Faction in the Verkhovna Rada (Ukraine's Parliament).

Symonenko has been a Ukrainian delegate to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe.

1994

From 1994 to 1996 he was a member of the Ukrainian parliament's Constitution Commission.

1999

Symonenko was the party's candidate in the 1999 and 2004, 2010, and until his withdrawal, the 2014 Ukrainian presidential elections.

He was a candidate in the 1999 Ukrainian presidential election, receiving 22.24% of the votes in the first round and taking second place.

In the second round he won 37.8% of the votes, losing to Leonid Kuchma.

His election program had classic Communist content.

2002

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".

2004

His party left the alliance, as Symonenko was against a single candidate from the alliance in the 2004 Ukrainian presidential election; the other three parties remained allies, at least until July 2006.

Symonenko's support sharply declined at the time of the 2004 presidential election.

He received 5% of the votes and came in fourth place, unable to get into the controversial runoff which caused the Orange Revolution.

2006

On 28 November 2006, the Ukrainian Parliament narrowly passed a law defining the Holodomor as a deliberate act of genocide and made public denial illegal.

2007

Symonenko was re-elected to the Verkhovna Rada in the 2007 Ukrainian parliamentary election.

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.

Commenting in 2007, Symonenko said that he "does not believe there was any deliberate starvation at all", and accused Viktor Yushchenko of "using the famine to stir up hatred".

In response, Yushchenko declared he wanted "a new law criminalising Holodomor denial".

2010

During the 2010 Ukrainian presidential election, Symonenko was the candidate of the Bloc of Left and Center-left Forces, receiving 3.54% of the votes.

2012

In 2012 Ukrainian parliamentary election, he was re-elected into the Verkhovna Rada.

In May 2012, Symonenko defended the deportation of the Crimean Tatars, saying that this measure saved Crimean Tatars because otherwise a civil war would have started.

2014

In the 2014 Ukrainian presidential election, he initially 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".

He withdrew from the race on 16 May.

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.

In the 2014 presidential election, he received 1.51% of the vote.

2019

The Central Election Commission of Ukraine prohibited his candidacy for the 2019 Ukrainian presidential election due to the fact that the statute, name, and symbolism of his party did not comply with the decommunization laws in Ukraine.

Symonenko was born in Donetsk.

The Central Election Commission of Ukraine did not register his candidacy for the 2019 Ukrainian presidential election due to the fact that the statute, name, and symbolism of the Communist Party of Ukraine did not comply with 2015 decommunization laws.

In late May 2021, TV channel 112 Ukraine received a fine of ₴100,000 for broadcasting Symonenko's claim that the war in Donbas was "a civil war" initiated by "Ukrainian nationalists and neo-fascists supported by the United States."

During the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, Simonenko has taken a pro-Russian stance.

In March 2022, as reported by Obozrevatel, he managed to escape from Kyiv to Belarus during the Kyiv offensive with the assistance of Russian forces.

In October 2022, Symonenko took part in the International Meeting of Communist and Workers' Parties in Havana, Cuba.

During the speech, he blamed the United States and the United Kingdom for the war, and said they wanted to "use Ukraine against Russia and Taiwan against China".

In August 2023, the Security Service of Ukraine opened an investigation against Symonenko on the charges of sedition and treason.

The investigation established that during the Russian occupation of Kyiv Oblast of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine he had fled to Russia accompanied by Russian Special Forces.

In Russia Symonenko was appointed deputy chairman of the Union of Communist Parties – Communist Party of the Soviet Union.
