In 1951, Marushchenko returned to Kyiv. He first attended the vocational school for radio electronics and the Institute of Food Industry in Kyiv.[1]
In the mid-1970s, he began working as a theatre photographer. From 1980 to 1991, he worked as a photojournalist for the Moscow-based newspaper Sovetskaya Kultura in the Ukrainian SSR; he then worked as a photographer for the Ukrainian newspaper Den from 1997 to 1998, after which he remained active as a freelance photographer and artist.[1][4]
In 2004, he founded the Viktor Marushchenko School of Photography in Kyiv, at which he served as director and lecturer.[5][6] A number of Ukrainian and international artists taught at the school, including Boris Mikhailov, Valeriy Miloserdov, Oleksandr Glyadyelov and Sasha Kurmaz.[7]
In 2010, Marushchenko published the first issue of the photography magazine 5.6, which featured Ukrainian and international contemporary photography.[3][8]
