In 1932, V. S. Orlov graduated from the Kharkov Art College.

During the occupation of Taganrog, Orlov was taken to forced labor in Germany, where he was forced to work as a laborer in a factory until the very end of the war. Returning to Taganrog after the war, V.S. Orlov works in the Taganrog branch of the cooperative association “Vsekokhudozhnik” [3]. In 1946, Orlov was accepted as a member of the Union of Artists.
