Olshanski first appeared in politics as Grand Duke's marshal in 1488.[1] Two years later he became starosta of Lutsk and successfully defended Volhynia from the Tatar invasion during the Polish–Ottoman War (1485–1503).[2] He commanded the army in the victorious Battle of Zasław in January 1491 and was promoted to Marshal of Volhynia.[2] In 1495, sons of Khan Meñli I Giray invaded Volhynia and Olshanski successfully defended the besieged Korets.[3] Next year, the Tatars invaded again and attacked Rivne where Olshanski and Konstanty Ostrogski were hiding. They rode out to attack the invaders but had to retreat once the main Tatar forces arrived. The invaders burned the city but did not manage to capture the castle.[3]
Jan Litawor Chreptowicz, regent of Navahrudak, was also taken captive at Vedrosha.[4] He was married to Hedwig Olshanska, Semyon's niece, and Olshanski took over Navahrudak.[5] Here as well he was soon replaced by Piotr Hlebowicz.[5] However, he was able to hold the title of starosta of Kremenets from early 1501 until his death in 1505 or 1506.[1][3] In 1502, Olshanski returned to Volhynia and once again organized defense against the Crimean Khanate that attacked Babruysk, Turov, and Brest.[3]
