== Biography == Dolotenko was born to a peasant family in 1922. In 1938, she graduated from a seven-year rural school. She was a member of the Komsomol.
Beginning in 1938, she started working as a laborer at the Shevchenko collective farm in the village of Samhorodok and achieved significant harvests of sugar beets.
During the Great Patriotic War she lived in her native village and continued working in agriculture. She later had to hide in a nearby area to avoid being taken by German soldiers to forcefully work as a ''fremdarbeiter'' in Nazi Germany. Since 1944, she became a member of the youth section and the board of the Shevchenko collective farm. In 1945, Dolotenko's unit grew 650 quintals of sugar beets from each hectare on an area of 7 hectares. She also grew high yields of millet.
After the war, she was elected a member of the Rotmistriv District Committee of the Kyiv Regional State Technical University of Ukraine. She was elected to the Supreme Soviet of the Ukrainian SSR in 1947, representing Kyiv Oblast.<ref>{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=GG8oAQAAIAAJ |title=Radi͡ansʹka z͡hinka |publisher=Radi͡ansʹka Ukraïna |year=1947 |page=9}}</ref><ref name="Yekelchyk2014">{{cite book |author=Serhy Yekelchyk |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=QsgOBAAAQBAJ&pg=PT168 |title=Stalin's Citizens: Everyday Politics in the Wake of Total War |date=4 August 2014 |publisher=Oxford University Press |isbn=978-0-19-939041-0 |page=168}}</ref> In 1951, the Central Committee of the Communist Party (Bolsheviks) of Ukraine recommended that she did not get re-elected, having been accused of low productivity of her agricultural brigade and being absent from meetings with her electorate.
