Pyvovarsky graduated in 2000 from the history department of the
Taras Shevchenko National University in Kyiv. He stated he planned to resign because his subordinates, volunteers he had attracted to the ministry, could not "work having non-market salaries". An anonymous source in his ministry told
UNIAN that Pyvovarsky was "extremely dissatisfied" with the
Bloc of Petro Poroshenko faction refusal to adopt key bills regarding Ukraine's transport industry. His resignation letter was submitted to the
Verkhovna Rada (Ukraine's parliament) in December 2015. Pyvovarsky was never formally dismissed. He was finally relieved from his post when the
Groysman Government was installed on 14 April 2016. == References==
