Sergei Zavorotny was driving on Kirovogradskaya Street on Friday morning when the car exploded, Russia’s Investigative Committee said. He was taken to hospital for treatment.
Investigators have opened an attempted murder case and said medical and explosives examinations would be arranged. The committee did not say what caused the explosion.
Zavorotny was an adviser to Mykola Azarov, Ukraine’s pro-Russian prime minister from 2010 until 2014, when Azarov resigned and fled to Russia.
The explosion came a day after a Russian serviceman was killed in a car explosion in St Petersburg.
