International career

Vladimir played his first match for Russia national football team on August 22, 2007 against Poland in friendly and was substituted by Anton Shunin in the half-time. Then he was chosen to play in a vital match against England, likely due to that Igor Akinfeev was injured and Vyacheslav Malafeev was in poor form at the time. If Russia would have lost the match, it would have made qualification impossible. In a dramatic 2-1 comeback, a home victory over England on October 17, 2007, he made key saves to keep Russia in the game at 0-1, in a match they were able to turn around in the second half.
