In 2000, he also received a law degree from the Luhansk State University of Internal Affairs.[5]
In the early 2000s, Danilov was a member of the party Yabluko (that during his membership was renamed Party of Free Democrats).[1] In the 2002 Ukrainian parliamentary election he was again unsuccessful in his attempt to get elected to parliament on the party list of this party.[6]
In 2000, Danilov was an adviser to the parliamentary Committee on Industrial Policy and Entrepreneurship.[1] From October 2001 to February 2005, he founded the Luhansk Initiative and was its chairman.

Political views
In October 2021 Danilov stated that he believed that it would be better for Ukraine to be a presidential republic than a parliamentary-presidential one.[14] Danilov argued that it would only be "possible to make a leap forward" with a "responsible person who understands what she is going for."[14] Ukraine is a parliamentary-presidential republic.[15][14]
