In the autumn of 1998 he was elected chairman of the council of the all-Russian political and social movement "Refach" (prosperity). The movement supported Vladimir Putin's presidential election campaign .
On December 19, 1999 he was elected deputy of the State Duma of the Federal Community of the Russian Federation for the third convocation in the electoral block Interregional Movement “Unity” (“Bear”) .

Activity within the ICZR
Under the leadership of Niyazov, the ICZR works closely with state authorities, social associations and the mass media. At the urging of the Russian ICZ, the Days of Islamic Culture of Russian Tradition and, for the first time, Islamic programs such as “All Suras of the Koran” and “A Thousand and One Days: An Encyclopedia of Islam” were included in the television program.
In the 1990s, IKZ Russia was actively involved in setting up a Hajj system in Russia, in the construction of more than 70 mosques in various regions of the country and in the formation of an educational infrastructure, and was also involved in the unification of the Islamic clergy to form the Mufti Council Russia, under whose spiritual administration it still operates today.
By "participating in the development of interdenominational and international dialogue and cooperation" Niyazov succeeded in building constructive relationships between Islamic structures and the traditional denominations of Russia and, above all, the Russian Orthodox Church . Under the leadership of Nijasow, IKZ Russia was also able to establish good contacts with the Vatican , the Dalai Lama and other world religious centers. During the last 20 years Niyazov has acted as an initiator of interdenominational meetings, conferences and round tables, participated in programs for the cooperation of different communities, participated in programs to "fight against international terrorism, extremism, nationalism, growing Islamophobia and xenophobia" as well as helped to “stabilize” the situation in the Chechen Republic .
The IKZ Russia has always advocated the diversity of Russian foreign policy and a balance in Russia's intergovernmental cooperation with both the East and the West. Following this principle, constructive cooperation has been established with the largest Islamic international organizations, including the Organization of the Islamic Conference, the Islamic World League and the Islamic World Mission Society . At the beginning of the 1990s, Niyazov, in his capacity as chairman of the Russian ICZ, suggested Russia's accession to the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC), which, in his opinion, represented not only a strategic but also an economic advantage for Russia. This proposal was widely supported by the country's Islamic community and, thanks to the support of Russian President Vladimir Putin, Russia obtained observer status in the OIC in June 2005.
Both Niyazov and the center he runs maintain constant business contacts with Islamic communities in more than 20 European and 40 Islamic countries. In less than 19 years, IKZ Russia has hosted more than two dozen large international conferences and forums, a few dozen round tables, symposiums and other events that have met with a wide response both in Russia and in other countries.
Over the past few years, the ICZR, under the leadership of Niyazov, has directly participated in such important projects for the Russian umma as the implementation of the international conference "Russia and the Islamic World: Partnership in the Name of Stability" in September 2009, in the preparation of the concept of a Islamic TV channel, the creation of which was suggested in 2009 by Russian President Dmitry Medvedev in 2009, as well as the major project to unite the centralized spiritual structures of Muslims in Russia, which received the blessing of all three key figures of Russian Muslims, the Chairman of the Council of Muftis of Russia, Ravil Gajnutdin , the chairman of the Central Spiritual Administration of Muslims in Russia, Talgat Tajutdin , and the chairman of the Coordination Center for Muslims of the North Caucasus , Ismail Berdyev .
