Starting in Politics
In 1992, Rogozin took part in the Transnistria War. This was a conflict against Moldovan forces. He supported Transnistria becoming independent from Moldova.
In 1993, Rogozin joined a new political group called the Congress of Russian Communities. He was elected to the State Duma (Russia's parliament) in 1997. He became known for speaking up for the rights of ethnic Russians living in former Soviet countries.
Rogozin was re-elected to the State Duma in 1999. He then became the Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee. In 2002, he was chosen by Russian President Vladimir Putin to help solve problems for Kaliningrad. This area faced issues when the Baltic states joined the European Union. President Putin thanked Rogozin for his work.
In 2003, Rogozin became a leader of the Rodina (Motherland) group. This group did well in the 2003 election, winning 37 out of 450 seats in the Duma. Rogozin briefly became the Duma's vice-speaker. He remained a member of the Duma until 2007.
