Vladimir, according to available information, a former riot police commander and deputy of the Pushkinsky electoral district No. 9 (agro-town of Kolodishchi) of the 27th convocation, was detained in December 2021 after an attempted attack on GOM-2 of the Frunzensky District Department of Internal Affairs in Minsk on August 16, 2021, as part of a criminal case initiated under the article "act of terrorism".

According to the indictment, from July 2020 to January 2022, "an organized criminal group operated in Belarus, Turkey, Poland, Ukraine and other countries with the goal of committing extremist crimes. The group included radical individuals, including former and current military personnel, law enforcement officers, athletes and businessmen, who sought to seize power illegally." The case involves charges of attempted arson of the home of MP Oleg Gaidukevich in June 2021 and "organizing mass riots."

Vladimir was convicted under several criminal articles to a long term of imprisonment, the first five of which were prison terms. He was also stripped of his military rank.
