In 2006 Hdanov graduated from the National Academy of the State Tax Service of Ukraine.[2] In 2009–2011 he served as a deputy minister in the Crimean Government.[2] In 2012 Hdanov suffered an assassination attempt when two unknown younger people hit him on the head with a hammer.[2]

In 2015, Hdanov was among the leaders of an energy blockade with the Russian occupied Crimea.[3]

As a leader of the "Community council in Crimean affairs" and a representative of Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar People was very critical about former presidential representative of Ukraine in Crimea Natalia Popovych.[4]

In 2017 he was appointed as the first deputy presidential representative of Ukraine in Crimea. Following removal of Babin,[5] Hdanov ex officio acts as presidential representative of Ukraine in Crimea.

On April 8, 2022, the Kyiv District Court of Simferopol sentenced Gdanov to 8 years in a strict regime colony for "participation in the activities of an illegal armed group operating on the territory of a foreign state for purposes contrary to the interests of the Russian Federation", accusing him of involvement in the Noman Chelebidzhikhan battalion.[6]
