Feldman first entered the Ukrainian parliament after winning a single-member district located in Kharkiv during the 2002 Ukrainian parliamentary election.[7] In parliament he joined the United Ukraine faction and when that party merged with Batkivshchyna Feldman joined this party too.[7][8][9][10]

Batkivshchyna was a part of the Yulia Tymoshenko Bloc during the 2006 Ukrainian parliamentary election and 2007 Ukrainian parliamentary election Feldman was re-elected into parliament on a party ticket of this bloc of political parties.[7][11] He also was of its Kharkiv regional party organization.[7] In March 2011 Feldman left the Yulia Tymoshenko Bloc faction in parliament and joined the Party of Regions.[7] He did so citing too much influence of nationalism in the Yulia Tymoshenko Bloc.[7]

In the 2012 Ukrainian parliamentary election Feldman won a parliamentary seat in a single-member district located in Kharkiv for Party of Regions.[7]

In the 2014 Ukrainian parliamentary election Feldman as an independent candidate won the same single-member district as in 2012 with 64.94% of the votes.[7][12]

Feldman joined the party Our Land in August 2015.[13]

In 2017, he was elected to the board of the international organization "Religions for Peace", a pacifist organization with headquarters in New York, which has consultative status with UNESCO, UNICEF and the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations.[14]

In the July 2019 Ukrainian parliamentary election Feldman was re-elected to parliament after again winning electoral district 174 in Kharkiv, again as an independent candidate.[15][16] This time with 37.24% of the votes (slightly 4% more than runner-up Viktoria Alekseychuk of the Servant of the People party).[15][17] In parliament he joined the Opposition Platform — For Life faction.[18] For this party Feldman was candidate in the October 2020 Kharkiv mayoral election.[19] He finished second with 14.32%, losing to incumbent mayor Hennadiy Kernes.[20]

On 15 March 2022, following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Feldman left the Opposition Platform — For Life faction stating that the party's actions leading up to and during the war contradicted their previous stance of stressing the need to negotiate agreements to end wars.[21]
