In the late 90s, having enlisted the support of the mayor of Kirovograd, Oleinik took part in the presidential elections in Ukraine as a candidate. In the summer of 1999, in the city of Kanev, Vladimir Nikolayevich, together with Yevgeny Marchuk, Alexander Tkachenko and Alexander Moroz, signed an agreement in order to nominate a single candidate for a leading position in the country as a counterweight to Leonid Kuchma.
