Vladimir lived in Saint-Briac-sur-Mer, Brittany until 1942, when the Nazis arrested him and put him in a concentration camp. In 1948, Vladimir married Princess Leonida Bagration-Mukhransky in Lausanne. When he died in Florida in 1992, his daughter Maria Vladimirovna claimed the right to succeed as the only child of the last male Romanov dynast.

Although the Bagrations are the former ruling family of Georgia, the Romanov Family Association, a group founded in 1979, has objected that Vladimir's marriage was not "equal" according to the rules of the House. This would mean that Maria was not eligible to succeed. ''Almanach de Gotha'' describes Vladimir as, "the last Head of the Imperial House of Russia."<ref>James, John.

Although the Bagrations are the former ruling family of the Republic of Georgia, the Romanov Family Association has objected that Vladimir's marriage was not "equal" according to the rules of the House. This would mean that Maria was not eligible to succeed. The RFA includes almost all the Romanovs aside from Maria and her son. It promotes the claim of Andrew Andreevich, a California author. ''Almanach de Gotha'' describes Vladimir as, "the last Head of the Imperial House of Russia."<ref>James, John. ''Almanach de Gotha,'' (2016)</ref> That is to say, it does not recognize either claim.
