After graduation in 1959 from Borzna Agricultural College he started his professional career as a mid-level worker, an agronomist, and the head of a division in a few state farms (Template:Langx) and collective farms (Template:Langx) in Baryshivka Raion. Between 1967 and 1974 Plyushch was the head of Kirov collective farm and the head of Lenin state farm in Baryshivka Raion. Between 1975 and 1977 he was in Kyiv working as a vice-deputy of a Kyiv Oblast regional committee of the Communist Party of Ukraine. Between 1977 and 1979 Plyushch studied in Moscow at the Central Committee of the Communist Party Academy of Social Science. After his studies he continued working in Kyiv in the divisions of the Communist Party of Kyiv Oblast. In 1984 he became the vice-head, and later the head of Kyiv Oblast Administration. In 1990 he was elected the head of Kyiv Oblast Council.
In 1990, Plyushch was elected to the Verkhovna Rada, where he worked for four consecutive сonvocations. On three occasions he served as Chairman of the Supreme Council; 9 July to 23 July 1990 (acting), 5 December 1991 to 11 May 1994, and 1 February 2000, to 14 May 2002.
In 1994, Plyushch participated in the 1994 Ukrainian presidential election. He won 1.29% votes, and took the 6th place out of 7 candidates. Leonid Kuchma was elected as the President in the election.
In the 2006 Ukrainian parliamentary election, Plyushch was leading the Ukrainian National Bloc of Kostenko and Plyushch. The bloc won 1.87% of popular vote,[1] short of the required 3% threshold, and obtained no seats in the parliament.
In May 2007, Plyushch was appointed secretary of the Ukrainian National Security and Defence Council by President Viktor Yushchenko. Plyushch interpreted the council's responsibilities to include economic, environmental and energy security as well as military matters. This made it a key instrument in the President's efforts to assert his authority over the government headed by Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych.
In the 2007 Ukrainian parliamentary election, Plyushch was elected as a candidate of Yushchenko's Our Ukraine–People's Self-Defense Bloc. He opposed a coalition with the Yulia Tymoshenko Bloc and he was dismissed as Security and Defence Council Secretary by the President in November 2007, shortly before Yanukovych was replaced as prime minister by Yulia Tymoshenko.
Plyushch became a creating member of Reforms for the Future in February 2011.[2]

Plyushch died on 25 June 2014, at the age of 72 after a long battle with cancer.[4]
