He served as Deputy Minister of Industry and Commerce of the Russian Government between 23 December 2015 and 28 July 2016, when he was made the so-called Governor of Sevastopol following the resignation of Sergey Menyaylo.[5][6] He was later elected as a United Russia candidate to the office in September 2017, receiving 71% of the vote (voter turnout in this election was 34%).[7]

On 11 July 2019, Ovsiannikov resigned from his post as Governor of Sevastopol.[8]
