He was born in what is now the Left-bank Ukraine. He fought in the Imperial Russian Army during World War I before joining the Bolsheviks. During the Russian Civil War, he fought against the White movement army of Abram Dragomirov in Kiev. He was a 4-time recipient of the Order of the Red Banner (1919, twice in 1921, 1924) and the Order of Lenin. He was made a Komandarm 2nd rank in 1935 and a Komandarm 1st rank on February 20, 1938. In 1938, he was awarded the Jubilee Medal "XX Years of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army".

Fedko joined the Bolsheviks in 1917. He was also a member of the Central Executive Committee of the USSR, deputy of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR of the first convocation, member of the Military Council under the People's Commissar of Defense of the USSR.
