The party ran independent in the 1998 Ukrainian parliamentary elections in which it won 0.30% of the votes and no seats.[1] During his presidential bid in 1999, party leader Yuriy Karmazin complained about the "Jewish-controlled media".[2] The party did not participate in the 2002 parliamentary elections.[1]

In the October 2012 parliamentary elections party leader Yuriy Karmazin registration was refused by the Central Election Commission of Ukraine (it stated it had received two applications to be a candidate in two different single-mandate constituencies) and thus the party decided not to recognize the elections.[6][7][8]
