Oleg Shein's political career
Back in the late 1980s, Oleg Shein joined the United Front of Workers. A few years later, he headed this association. In the mid-90s, Oleg Vasilyevich took an active part in the formation of the trade union movement.
In 1999, Shein became a deputy of the State Duma from the Astrakhan District. He worked as a member of the Committee on Labor and Social Policy.
In 2002, the media named Shein among those political leaders who seek to confuse voters with an abundance of parties and help capital keep the working people in check.
In 2003, Shein once again became the people's choice. This time in the Duma, he joined the Rodina faction, leaving behind all the same issues of social policy and labor.
A year later, Oleg Vasilyevich was elected chairman of the Party of Labor Solidarity. He has repeatedly criticized the law on political parties, which set a high bar for party membership: his party failed to register in 2005 due to its low membership. In the summer of 2005, Shein became a member of the Rodina party.
In the fall of 2006, several parties united into a bloc, and the Fair Russia party emerged. Shein headed its Astrakhan branch and entered the governing council of the political association. Shein has repeatedly applied for the post of mayor of Astrakhan, but the election results each time turned out to be not in favor of the politician.
Since 2012, Oleg Vasilievich has been taking part in opposition rallies. In 2018, he sharply criticized the pension reform deployed in the country. Shein calls his political views socialist and admits that the views of the German Social Democrats are close to him.
