In the 2012 Ukrainian parliamentary election, he was re-elected into the Verkhovna Rada after winning the Ukraine's 77th electoral district, located in Zaporizhzhia Oblast, for the Party of Regions. [8] [9] [10]
In the 2014 Ukrainian parliamentary election, Boguslayev was again re-elected after again winning a constituency seat in Zaporizhzhia; this time as an independent candidate.

From 2009 to 2018, Bohuslayev and his son Oleksandr purchased at least 19 properties in Dubai for $15 million. [13] In 2019, the family began selling off these assets. [13] By 2024, they only owned five Dubai properties. [13]
