Conditionally we have divided his life into three periods: Zakarpattia (1929 - 1954), Kyiv (1955-2007) and Kremenets periods (2007-2015). Special attention was paid to the last years of his life and activities in Kremenets, as the head of the Department of Ecology and Plant Physiology at the Kremenets Regional Humanitarian and Pedagogical Institute named after Taras Shevchenko (today Academy). During this time he made a significant contribution to this institution. Under his leadership, the magistracy of the specialty Biology was opened, two Candidate's dissertations were protected (Halahan O.K., Mykhalyuk I.M.), all-Ukrainian conference with international participation "Besser Studies" was held in 2014. He established a research laboratory "Environmental monitoring and experimental biology" and launched the Plant Herbarium of Western Podillia. It was significant that he worked in Kyiv and Krements as the head of the Department of Botany, as Willibald Besser on his time. In 2015 Volodymyr Ivanovych managed to complete and publish the fundamental work "The Flora of Ukrainian Carpathians" - the work of all his life, as he studied the Carpathian flora throughout his life.

His candidate's and doctoral dissertations are devoted to the study of the flora of the Ukrainian Carpathians.
