In the next few years, Wassili achieved good places in some top-class international wrestling tournaments and also won several of these tournaments. Nevertheless, it was not easy for him to qualify for the major international championships in view of the enormous competition in his own country, including Shamil Serikow , Kamil Fatkulin , Farhat Mustafin and Vitaly Konstantinov .

It was a similar experience at the 1983 European Championships in Budapest . After four victories he lost to the Bulgarian Emil Ivanov and the Greek Haralambos Holidis in the final battles, with which he again won a bronze medal.

After this world championship, Vasily was no longer used in any international championships. Nothing is known about his further life.
