Ion Ciubuc's Life and Career
Ion Ciubuc was born on May 29, 1943, in a village called Hădărăuţi. This village is now part of the Ocniţa district in Moldova.
Education and Early Work
He studied at the Agricultural Institute in Odessa. In 1970, he earned a degree as an expert in farming economics. Later, he also completed a Ph.D. in economics.
From 1960 to 1963, he worked as an economist at a large farm called "1 Mai Colhoz." A "colhoz" was a type of collective farm in the Soviet Union where many people worked together.
Military Service and Farm Leadership
After his first job, Ion Ciubuc served in the Soviet Army from 1963 to 1966. When he returned to the Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic (which is what Moldova was called when it was part of the Soviet Union), he became a chief economist. He also led the colhoz farms in Hădărăuţi and Trebisăuți from 1966 to 1973.
Later, he became the chairman of the Colhoz Council in the Briceni district from 1973 to 1975. This meant he was in charge of many collective farms in that area.
Working in Government and Politics
Ion Ciubuc then took part in political training courses. He became an instructor in the city of Chisinau from 1975 to 1976. He also studied in Moscow from 1976 to 1978.
After his studies, he returned to the Moldavian SSR. From 1978 to 1984, he was the first secretary of the Vulcănești District Committee. This was an important leadership role in the local government.
High-Level Government Roles
Between 1984 and 1986, he served as the First Deputy Chairman of the State Planning Committee. This committee was a government group that planned the country's economy.
From 1986 to 1989, he worked as the head of the Agricultural Research Department. This department was part of a scientific research institute focused on farming in the Moldavian SSR. Until 1990, he was also the vice-president of the agro-industrial complex. This meant he helped manage the part of the economy that deals with farming and related industries.
Becoming Prime Minister
Ion Ciubuc became the 3rd Prime Minister of Moldova in January 1997. He held this important position, leading the government, until February 1999.
He passed away in 2018 at the age of 74.
