In March 2008, he was appointed Deputy Head of the State Financial Administration of Ukraine under Sergey Buryak.
In June 2008, he took the oath of office as a Member of the Ukrainian Parliament. Member of the faction of Yulia Tymoshenko.
From December 2012, he was a Member of the Ukrainian Parliament in the VII Congress, ran on the Batkivshchyna party list (No. 20), and was a member of the Parliament Committee on the Priority of Law and Justice.
On March 6, 2013, he was removed from his position at the request of the Parliamentary Committee on Rules, as the deputies decided that Vlasenko was acting as a lawyer for ex-Prime Minister Tymoshenko and not as a deputy.
In February 2014, the Supreme Administrative Court restored Vlasenko's status as a deputy of the Verkhovna Rada, and the Parliament returned his mandate.
On April 11, 2014, he was elected a member of the Supreme Judicial Council.

Views and Assessments. Vlasenko is one of the most notable Ukrainian lawyers. During his legal career, he participated in a number of high-profile legal cases. He represented the interests of the presidential candidate of Ukraine Viktor Yushchenko (in a case of massive fraud during the runoff election), was involved in privatization disputes over Kryvorizhstal (on the side of the joint venture of billionaires Rinat Akhmetov and Viktor Pinchuk) and the Nikopol Ferroalloy Plant (on the side of Pinchuks). He represented the copyright interests of the famous Ukrainian artist Andriy Danilko (stage name - Verka Serduchka). He defended the interests of the foreign company Inter-media in a legal dispute over ownership rights to a stake in the equity of the Ukrainian TV channel Studio 1+1.
The reason for Vlasenko's appointment as Deputy Head of the STA, as the letter from Kommersant-Ukraine stated, was the desire of the government under the leadership of the BJuT leader Yulia Tymoshenko to change the chief lawyer of the tax authority and ultimately reduce the number of lawsuits, the 'financial aspect' of which at that time had already exceeded 40 billion UAH.
In 2007, as a member of the Ukrainian Social Democratic Party, led by his former law colleague Kornytsky, he participated in early parliamentary elections. He was placed 170th (then 'non-viable') on the BJuT party list. In May 2008, he was faced with the choice of either retaining the position of Deputy Head of the STA or joining the BJuT faction in the Verkhovna Rada, as some BJuT deputies who had previously gone to the executive had resigned from their parliamentary mandates. He chose the parliamentary mandate.
After the initiation of criminal proceedings against former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, he defended her in court.
Family. Vlasenko was married to model and stylist Natalya Okunska. With her, Vlasenko has a daughter named Polina. In addition, the former spouses raised three children of Natalya from two previous marriages, Andrei, Igor, and Masha.
The first wife of Vlasenko was the host of the First National Channel Olga Bura (who died in a car accident in 2004).
