In 2002, he was a journalist for Vulychne Telebachennya, a project of Victor Pinchuk that played an important role in campaigning and manipulating in favour of Leonid Kuchma in the early 2000s.

Sergey Mironov, chairman of the Just Russia party and another Russian presidential candidate, has openly stated that Putin and Prokhorov had "essentially the same headquarters.

According to an investigation by journalist Dmytro Gordon, Petrov's work in this presidential campaign was supervised directly by the Fifth Department of the Russian Federal Security Service (officially known as the Service for Operational Information and International Relations);[6] Prokhorov's PR was also organised by Timofey Sergeitsev, one of the ideologists of Rashism and author of the scandalous article What Russia Should Do with Ukraine, Russian political technologist Dmitry Kulikov, and Iskander Valitov, a political technologist with experience of campaigns in Ukraine.

[10] During the 2009–2010 presidential campaign, Petrov was the author of the pedophilegate, when three MPs from the Yulia Tymoshenko Bloc, Viktor Ukolov, Serhiy Teryokhin and Ruslan Bogdan, were accused of allegedly sexually abusing children in the Artek camp.

[5] One of Petrov's clients in the 'pedophile case' was pro-Russian politician Volodymyr Sivkovich, who is suspected of treason for creating a network of Russian agents in Ukraine.

At the time, Sivkovych was an MP from the Party of Regions, and after Yanukovych's victory, he became deputy prime minister, in charge of the security forces in Mykola Azarov's government.

[6] Petrov's second client in the case of alleged pedophilia at Artek is Volodymyr Oliynyk, a pro-Russian politician and former MP from the Party of Regions who also fled to Russia and was suspected of treason by the Security Service of Ukraine.

According to an investigation by journalist Dmytro Gordon, Sivkovich and Oliynyk were the main coordinators of the paedophile case, and it was from them that Petrov received money for promoting the scandal.

[6] In an interview with Ukrainian blogger Lilia Bagirova, Volodymyr Petrov said that the story of the "pedophiles" helped to "bring down" Yulia Tymoshenko in the second round, she lost to Viktor Yanukovych by less than 3.5 percentage points.

[15][21] In 2012, Petrov helped the leader of the now banned pro-Russian party Rodina, Ihor Markov, who was then one of the main Ukrainophobes, according to The Ukrainian Week, to get into the Verkhovna Rada.

Now Uralov is discussing on air with DPR terrorist Denis Pushilin, Russian World ideologue Aleksandr Dugin and Deputy Chairman of the Federation Council Konstantin Kosachev about how to "denazify" Ukraine.

According to Oleksiy Honcharenko, an MP from the European Solidarity party, Markov spent millions of dollars on his campaign, including a performance by Russian singer Lev Leshchenko at his 9 May event.

[6] In the autumn of 2014, after the outbreak of the Russo-Ukrainian war, Petrov helped pro-Russian politician Serhii Kivalov get into the Verkhovna Rada in the early parliamentary elections in Odesa.

[15] At that time, Kivalov won his constituency by a slim margin due to two things: the total control of the District Election Commission and the fact that a lot of technical candidates, including Petrov's associates Oleksandr Baraboshko and Oleksiy Durnev, were running against his competitors.

[28] On 6 September 2015, NLO TV premiered the Lumpen Show, an information and entertainment project in which Volodymyr Petrov promoted anti-Ukrainian narratives and hosted broadcasts with openly pro-Russian persons.

According to Maksym Onopriyenko, a member of the National Council, according to the Law "On Media", the dissemination of obscene words can harm the mental and moral development of children.

According to Detector Media's sources, the parliamentarians were outraged by Volodymyr Petrov's criticism of former German Chancellor Angela Merkel on 15 December, which he addressed after a story about pig tattoos.

[38] On 23 October 2023, Volodymyr Petrov threatened to "punish" Natalia Lygachova, the editor-in-chief of Detector Media, on his YouTube channel ISLND TV, for her words about his work for the Presidential Office.

[39] Roman Golovenko, a lawyer with the Institute of Mass Information (IMI), notes that at the end of the video, Sergii Ivanov asked Volodymyr Petrov to stop speaking and not to threaten, and stressed that even his colleague on the air interpreted these words as threats.

[39] Danylo Popkov, a lawyer with the Zmina Human Rights Centre, explained that Petrov's words about Natalia Lygachova fall under Article 345-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine — threatening or violence against a journalist.

[39] On 27 October 2023, on ISLND TV, Petrov called Natalia Lygachova, editor-in-chief of Detector Media, and Yulia Mostova and Vitaliy Sych, editors-in-chief of Dzerkalo Tyzhnia and The New Voice of Ukraine, "escorts".

[42] On 16 January, Servant of the People MP Maryana Bezuhla said that the Card Office Telegram channel, which was the first to spread information about the provocation near journalist Yuriy Nikolov's apartment, was run by Volodymyr Petrov and his co-host Sergii Ivanov.

[52][53] According to Anatolii Matios, Volodymyr Petrov gained access to people's personal data through a leak from the State Protection Department of Ukraine and traded it for his clients.

[55] These are Volodymyr Granovskyi (who worked for Yanukovych's shadow headquarters and headed the pro-Russian Nash TV channel), Dmitry Kulikov, and Timofey Sergeitsev (one of the ideologues of Ruscism, author of the scandalous article What Russia Should Do with Ukraine).

[10] Among Petrov's priority contacts for a long time were such persons as propagandist Oleksandr Chalenko, and Russian campaign manager Semyon Uralov.

[10] In 2012, he admitted that he sympathised with Prime Minister Mykola Azarov, who fled to Russia after the Euromaidan protests,[6] and Petrov was outraged that anyone could be unhappy with Yanukovych.

In the episode of the Lumpen Show, Petrov's "guest" was a pro-Russian propagandist, British Graham Phillips, who in 2022 was sanctioned by the UK for supporting Russian aggression.

[68] Petrov is known for calling fighters for the Ukrainian language and Ukrainian-speaking people "a herd of underdeveloped creatures with a low-quality gene pool" on social media.

[70] In 2022, Petrov recorded a video message on his YouTube channel ISLND TV to a Ukrainian serviceman, Senior Sergeant of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleh Barna, calling him worse than the Russian occupiers.

[74][75] According to the Chesno civic movement, Petrov is probably involved in discrediting such people as Arseniy Yatsenyuk, Oleksiy Honcharenko, Volodymyr Rondin, Hennadii Korban, Vadim Rabinovich, Serhiy Teryokhin, Viktor Ukolov, Ruslan Bogdan, Oleh Liashko, Ihor Mosiychuk, and Andriy Lozovyi.
