In 1999-2002, he was the deputy of the Duma of the Taymyr Autonomous Okrug of the 2nd convocation. He left the post on 22 October 2002, as he started a new job at the administration of the Krasnoyarsk Krai. From 2004 to 2008, he worked as Deputy Governor and Chief of Staff of the Administration Council of the Krasnoyarsk Territory. From April 2008 to May 2009, Sokol was the First Deputy Acting Governor of the Irkutsk Oblast. In 2016, he was elected deputy of the 7th State Duma. Since September 2021, he has served as deputy of the 8th State Duma.[1][2][3]

In the Duma, Sokol represents the Khakassia region. However, local media has been critical of his activities as a deputy by pointing out the fact that he did not prepare any draft law on any of the crucial issues concerning the region.[4]
