Vladimir is accused of posting photos from the August 2020 protest actions in Vitebsk on his social networks.

Vladimir was detained on December 14, 2022 after three more people connected with the ROK'I PUB gastropub were detained (the founders of the institution Ilya Kulman and Pavel Petrunin, the name and post of the third detainee are unknown).

As reported by «‎Vitebsk Viasna»‎, according to pub visitors, one of the reasons for the detention could be a recent concert by a Belarusian singer performing under the pseudonym Iva Sativa (real name Yana Smolyaga, she is the wife of former political prisoner Levon Khalatryan). But, probably, the concert was an occasion to check the activities of the institution. As it turned out later, the Department of Financial Investigations opened a case for non-payment of taxes. Most likely, Bulavsky, as an organizer of concert activities in Vitebsk, was also detained as part of this case.
