Early life and career

Since 2011, he has been a Candidate of Judicial Sciences, and since 2013 he has been an associate professor.[1]

In 2006, Dyrdin became a legal adviser to "Ukraine's Bread" DAK. The same year, he joined the National University of Taxation's staff, working his way up from an assistant to associate professor of criminal law and forensics. He worked at the university until 2016, becoming general director of Santa-Ukrayina [uk], a clothing manufacturer. Since 2009, he has been a lawyer. In the 4th Verkhovna Rada, he served as an assistant to Party of Regions People's Deputy Ivan Kuras [uk].[1]

Political career

In the 2019 Ukrainian parliamentary election, Dyrdin was the candidate of Servant of the People for People's Deputy of Ukraine in Ukraine's 132nd electoral district. At the time of the election, he was an independent.[2] He was successfully elected, defeating the independent incumbent Arkadiy Kornatskiy with 42.54% of the vote to Kornatskiy's 9.95%.[3]

In the Verkhovna Rada (parliament of Ukraine), Dyrdin joined the Servant of the People faction and the Verkhovna Rada Legal Committee. In late 2022, Dyrdin voted for urban planning reform, a move condemned by anti-corruption non-governmental organisation Chesno as centralising reconstruction efforts following the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[2]
