From 1999 to 2002 Lebedyev was the chairman of financial operation in the state company "Tytan" in Armyansk, Crimea. From 2002 to 2005 he was the head of supervisory council for the Kremenchuk Steel-producing Factory (Kremenchuk) and "Dniprovahonmash" (portmanteau for Dnieper [Rail]car Machine) in Dnipropetrovsk. In 2005-06 Lebedyev was a president of the "Inter Car Group".
Since 2006 Lebedyev served as the MP for People's Deputy of Ukraine when he was elected to parliament on the party list of Yulia Tymoshenko Bloc in 2006. In Verkhovna Rada (Ukraine's parliament) Lebedyev was a member of the transportation and communication committee. In 2007 he was re-elected in parliament on the party list of Party of Regions. In the October 2012 Ukrainian parliamentary election Lebedyev was elected once again from a single constituency district in Sevastopol as a member of Party of Regions. On 24 December 2012, he was appointed the minister of defence, replacing Dmytro Salamatin. On 22 March 2013, Verkhovna Rada annulled his parliamentary mandate. After the February 2014 Ukrainian revolution Lebedyev fled to, and is since residing in, Simferopol. He did not participate in the 2014 Ukrainian parliamentary election.
