On 28 March 2014, the Kyiv Post reported that Rabinovich had registered as a self-nominated candidate for the 2014 Ukrainian presidential election.
This was partly to counter the characterization of the new Ukrainian government as anti-Semitic.
After registering, Rabinovich said: "I want to destroy the myth about an anti-Semitic Ukraine which is spreading around the world.
Probably I'm the most fortunate candidate.
Today unification is needed, and I'm a unifying candidate.
I have no maniacal thirst for power, I just want to help the country".
In the election, he received 2.25 percent of the vote.
