Vladimir is a blogger and author of the YouTube channel MozgON. He started by discussing economic and social news, later moving on to political topics, covering various actions, including pickets of Sergei Tikhanovsky.

In June 2020, he was detained to serve an administrative arrest, but was later accused of preparing "mass riots" and convicted in the "Tikhanovsky case." According to human rights activists, the defendants in the case are required to pay compensation in the amount of 29 million rubles.

In 2022, Vladimir was transferred to prison regime. In 2023, he was tried twice for "malicious disobedience to the demands of the administration of the correctional institution." In the fall of 2023, a third court hearing was held on a new case for "malicious disobedience."
