He was subsequently promoted, becoming Vice President of Alliance Group OJSC. In December 2004, he became the President of CJSC ALLIANCE-PROM.

In December 2022, shortly after Russia annexed Kherson Oblast, a move condemned by the United Nations as illegal, Basyuk was appointed as the region's representative in the Federation Council by now-Governor Saldo.
