Murayev has been a deputy of the Kharkiv Oblast Council (two convocations) and a deputy of the Ukrainian parliament between 2012 and 2019 (VII convocation and VIII convocation).[1][2] In the 2019 Ukrainian parliamentary election Murayev headed the nationwide list of Opposition Bloc, but this party failed to win a parliamentary seat.
Murayev is a former member of Party of Regions and Opposition Bloc[3] and former chairman of the political council of the For Life (Za zhyttia) party.
Following the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, Murayev disappeared and was rumoured to be in Russia, while other sources claimed he lived in Austria. The British government alleged prior to the invasion that Murayev was selected by Kremlin to be the next president of Ukraine under a new government.[4]
