He was Deputy Chairman of the State Duma's Committee on Credit Organizations and Financial Markets, and a member of the LDPR Supreme Council. From 1991 to 1993, he was active as a music manager for Aleksey Afanasiev and the bands Bravo and Mirage.
He ran for mayor of Moscow in 1999 and again in 2003, unsuccessfully both times. Mitrofanov served in the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Soviet Union. He holds degrees in international relations from the Moscow State Institute of International Relations and from the USA-Canada Institute of the Soviet Academy of Sciences.
In 2005 he made and released a controversial erotic movie titled Yuliya, which portrayed two people called Misha and Yuliya in various sex scenes who resembled then Prime Minister of Ukraine Yulia Tymoshenko and President of Georgia Mikhail Saakashvili. He is also known for his strident nationalist comments. For instance in November 2008 he claimed that the economic crisis of 2008 will shut down Ukraine’s industry and that its collapse would make Ukraine a part of the Russian Federation.
