In 1993, Rogozin joined the recently created party [[Congress of Russian Communities]] led by General [[Alexander Lebed]] and, after its founder died in a 2002 helicopter crash, Rogozin became joint leader with [[Sergey Glazyev]] of what became the Rodina party, which was described by ''[[Novaya Gazeta]]''

}}</ref> Rogozin was elected to the [[State Duma]] as a deputy from [[Voronezh Oblast]] in 1997, and he became a vocal activist for protection of rights of ethnic Russians in
Rogozin was [[1999 Russian legislative election|re-elected]] to the State Duma in 1999 and then appointed the Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee, drawing a lot of media attention and a share of criticism for some of his flamboyant public remarks. In 2002, he was appointed a Special Representative of the Russian President to deal with [[Kaliningrad]] problems that arose by the [[Baltic states]] joining the [[European Union]]. Rogozin received an official letter of gratitude from Russian President [[Vladimir Putin]].{{citation needed|date=May 2018}}
Line 96 ⟶ 95:
In 2003, Rogozin became one of the leaders of the [[Rodina (political party)|Rodina]] (Motherland) "national-patriotic" coalition, which won 9.2% of the popular vote or 37 of the 450 seats in the Duma in the [[2003 Russian legislative election|2003 parliamentary election]], briefly propelling him to the post of the Duma's vice-speaker, from which he was dismissed a year and a half later as a result of some elaborate interfaction dealings. He remained an ordinary member of the Duma until [[2007 Russian legislative election|the following election, in 2007]].{{citation needed|date=May 2018}}
After the breakthrough in the 2003 elections, Rogozin became involved in a power struggle with Rodina's other co-chairman, Glazyev, who had socialist views. Glazyev nominated himself as the party's candidate in the [[2004 Russian presidential election|2004 presidential election]], but Rogozin called on his party comrades to support incumbent Putin. Rogozin soon ousted Glazyev, to become the party's sole leader.{{cn|date=July 2024}}
[[File:Dmitry Medvedev and Nikolay Azarov 27 June 2012 02.jpeg|thumb|Rogozin, Russian PM [[Dmitry Medvedev]] and Ukrainian PM [[Mykola Azarov]], 27 June 2012]]
Under Rogozin, Rodina shifted towards the right wing of Russian politics and became the second largest and one of the country's most successful parties. A number of controversies on Rogozin's policies culminated in it being banned in 2005 from standing for the [[2005 Moscow City Duma
Rogozin's right-wing views were not shared by all of his party's members. In early 2006, at Rodina's congress, Rogozin resigned as party leader. Rogozin left Rodina after its merger with the [[Russian Party of Life]] and the [[Russian Pensioners' Party|Pensioners' Party]] into [[Fair Russia]]. In November 2006, he was the Chairman of the revived Congress of Russian Communities. In April 2007, he announced that he might support the formation of the [[Great Russia Party]], in conjunction with the [[Movement Against Illegal Immigration]]. The party said that it might consider supporting the candidacy of Belarusian President [[Alexander Lukashenko]] for the Presidency of Russia in 2008, a move that was unconstitutional because Lukashenko is not a Russian citizen. Because Russian authorities had not registered Great Russia, the party could not contest the legislative election in 2007.{{cn|date=July 2024}}
===Ambassador to NATO===
In 2008, Rogozin was appointed by the [[Vladimir Putin's second cabinet|Medvedev–Putin duumvirate]] as the Russian ambassador to NATO. As Russia's NATO envoy, he was heavily opposed to [[Ukraine–NATO relations|Ukraine]] and [[Georgia–NATO relations|Georgia]] becoming members of NATO. After the two countries were denied membership of the [[NATO Membership Action Plan]], he claimed, "They will not invite these bankrupt scandalous regimes to join NATO ... more so as important partnerships with Russia are at stake".<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.unian.net/eng/news/news-287944.html |title=NATO puts Russia ties ahead of Georgia, Ukraine – Russian envoy |agency=[[Ukrainian Independent Information Agency|UNIAN]] |date=12 March 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081205055806/http://www.unian.net/eng/news/news-287944.html |archive-date=5 December 2008 |url-status=live}}</ref> For such words, he was criticized by some Ukrainian and Georgian officials. A former Ukrainian envoy to NATO, [[Ihor Sahach]], said, "In my opinion, he is merely used as one of cogs in the informational war waged against Ukraine. Sooner or later, I think, it should be stopped". The envoy also expressed surprise at Rogozin's slang words: "It was for the first time that I heard such a higher official as envoy using this, I don't even know how to describe it, whether it was [[fenya|a slang or language of criminal circles]] ... I understand Russian, but, I'm sorry, I don't know what his words meant".<ref name="insult">{{cite news|url=http://www.unian.net/eng/news/news-288047.html |title=Ukraine's envoy to NATO proposes Russian counterpart to focus on his problems |agency=UNIAN |date=12 March 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081205055957/http://www.unian.net/eng/news/news-288047.html |archive-date=5 December 2008 |url-status=live}}</ref> The [[Foreign Minister of Ukraine]] [[Volodymyr Ohryzko]] stated that he did not regard the statement as serious.<ref name=insult/>
On 18 February 2011, Russian President [[Dmitry Medvedev]] appointed Rogozin as the Special Representative on [[anti-ballistic missile|anti-missile defense]]; he negotiated with NATO countries on this issue.{{cn|date=July 2024}}
===Deputy Prime Minister===
[[File:Deputy Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation meets PM Modi.jpg|thumb|Rogozin with Indian Prime Minister [[Narendra Modi]], in New Delhi, India, 5 November 2014]]
On 23 December 2011, Rogozin was appointed as Putin's Deputy Prime Minister in charge of the defense and space industries. For the defense industry, he led the creation of the [[Russian Foundation for Advanced Research Projects in the Defense Industry]].{{cn|date=July 2024}}
; Sanctions
In 2014, Rogozin was involved in several diplomatic conflicts following the [[annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation]]. On 17 March 2014, the day after the [[Crimean status referendum]], Rogozin became [[List of people sanctioned during the Ukrainian crisis|one of the first seven people who were put under executive sanctions]] by US President [[Barack Obama]]. The sanctions froze his assets in the US and banned him from entering the country.<ref name=bi20140317>{{cite news|first=Brett |last=Logiurato |title=Obama Just Announced Sanctions Against 7 Russian 'Cronies' |journal=[[Business Insider]] |date=17 March 2014 |access-date=17 March 2014 |url=http://www.businessinsider.com/crimea-vote-referendum-sanctions-obama-putin-2014-3 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140317183215/http://www.businessinsider.com/crimea-vote-referendum-sanctions-obama-putin-2014-3 |archive-date=17 March 2014 |url-status=dead}}</ref> He was also added to the United Kingdom, Canadian and to the EU sanction list due to the Russian annexation of Crimea.
On 10 May 2014, Rogozin started a diplomatic conflict between Romania and Russia after Romania barred his plane from entering its airspace. In response, he made two threatening posts on his Twitter account, one of which stated that next time, he would fly on board a [[Tupolev Tu-160
Rogozin wrote a foreword for a book published in 2014, ''Alaska Betrayed and Sold: The History of a Palace Conspiracy'', by Ivan Mironov. In it, Rogozin supported Mironov's claim that the [[Alaska Purchase|sale of Alaska]] was a betrayal of Russian power status. The book argues for "the historical and judicial right of Russia for the return of the lost colonies, Alaska and the [[Aleutian Islands]], over which the Russian flag flew 150 years ago". Rogozin stated that "Russia giving up its colonial possessions makes it necessary to look in a different way at our diplomacy in the era of [[Gorbachev]] and [[Yeltsin]], trading away pieces of the [[Soviet Empire]]", labelling the historical narrative as "outright lies and falsifications" and arguing that "the liberal idols of the 19th

On 24 February 2022, Rogozin stated on Twitter that the [[international sanctions during the Russo-Ukrainian War|international sanctions]] during the [[2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine|Russo-Ukrainian War]] could lead to the uncontrolled deorbiting of the [[International Space Station]] onto the territory of multiple countries. He questioned "who will save the ISS from an uncontrolled deorbit and fall into the United States or Europe?" He additionally said that "There is also the option of dropping a 500-ton structure to India and China. Do you want to threaten them with such a prospect?", adding "The ISS does not fly over Russia, so all the risks are yours. Are you ready for them?" This was accompanied by a map displaying the possible crash zone, with the US, most of Europe, and the entire southern hemisphere covered. A Canadian broadcaster reported this as an apparent threat, while ''[[The Daily Telegraph]]'' stated that experts believe it could take years for the ISS to deorbit even without the Russian module.<ref name=":1">{{Cite news |last=Knapton |first=Sarah |date=2022-03-12 |title=International Space Station could crash if sanctions continue, Russia warns |language=en-GB |work=The Telegraph |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2022/03/12/western-sanctions-could-cause-international-space-station-crash/ |access-date=2022-03-13 |issn=0307-1235}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |date=2022-02-24 |title=Head of Russian space agency appears to threaten to drop ISS on India or China |url=https://www.ctvnews.ca/world/head-of-russian-space-agency-appears-to-threaten-to-drop-iss-on-india-or-china-1.5795102 |access-date=2022-03-13 |website=CTVNews}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |date=2022-02-24 |title=Европы?

The Telegraph reported that this video was provocative and sparked fears because Vande Hei was scheduled to return to Earth along with two Russian cosmonauts in a Russian Soyuz capsule on 30 March. President Biden protested and demanded an apology, which was refused by Rogozin.
On 2 March Rogozin posted on Twitter a video of workers removing the US, UK, and Japanese flags from a [[Soyuz (rocket family)|Soyuz rocket]]. He tweeted: "The launchers at [[Baikonur Cosmodrome|Baikonur]] decided that without the flags of some countries, our rocket would look more beautiful".
