Vladimir — the number of the name, the Torah page and the verse
The name Vladimir in Hebrew letters is ולדימיר. Below: how its number adds up, which page of the Torah it falls on and what verse stands there. Everything is computed, nothing is guessed.
ולדימיר
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is ולדימיר. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 300 — the same as the Torah word כפר, “to cover”. That number points to Torah page 300 of 354 — in the portion Vaetchanan. What that portion is about: Moses pleads to enter the land; the Ten Utterances repeated; “Hear, O Israel”; the warning against forgetting. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Genesis 1:3. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. There are no predictions or judgments here — only the text of the Torah and arithmetic you can check.
Adding up the letters of the name ולדימיר gives 300.
300
The number 300 is the Torah word כפר — «to cover» (Genesis 6:14).
Shin is 300; three hundred cubits, the length of the ark (Genesis 6:15); Gideon's three hundred men (Judges 7:7).
The number 300, as the remainder modulo 354, points to Torah page 300 in the book of Devarim (Deuteronomy). These are its opening words:
עיניך השמימה וראית את השמש ואת הירח ואת …
The verse this place falls on is Devarim (Deuteronomy) 4:19:
וּפֶן־תִּשָּׂא עֵינֶיךָ הַשָּׁמַיְמָה וְרָאִיתָ אֶת־הַשֶּׁמֶשׁ וְאֶת־הַיָּרֵחַ וְאֶת־הַכּוֹכָבִים כֹּל צְבָא הַשָּׁמַיִם וְנִדַּחְתָּ וְהִשְׁתַּחֲוִיתָ לָהֶם וַעֲבַדְתָּם אֲשֶׁר חָלַק ה׳ אֱלֹהֶיךָ אֹתָם לְכֹל הָעַמִּים תַּחַת כָּל־הַשָּׁמָיִם
and lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun and the moon and the stars, even all the host of heaven, thou be drawn away and worship them, and serve them, which HaShem thy G-d hath allotted unto all the peoples under the whole heaven.
This is from the portion Vaetchanan. What it is about: Moses pleads to enter the land; the Ten Utterances repeated; “Hear, O Israel”; the warning against forgetting.
The same number, 300, is given by these biblical names:
יצר · כפר · כרכס · מרס
Nine ways of counting
The tradition counts the same name in several ways. The main one is above: each letter is its number. The other eight are old and checkable too; each gives its own number, and many of them have a Torah word with the same number.
Final letters as 500–900 (mispar gadol) — 300. A Torah word with the same number is כפר — “to cover” (Genesis 6:14).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 21. A Torah word with the same number is אך — “a particle of affirmation, surely” (Genesis 7:23).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 75. A Torah word with the same number is כהן — “one officiating, a priest” (Genesis 14:18).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 1186.
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 42752.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 622.
The word that comes out is פכקמימג. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 293.
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 1150.
The number 300 appears in the classical books 50 times across 27 works. The earliest mention is פירוש קדמון על ספר חסידים (~1200).

The name ולדימיר does not stand as a word in the Pentateuch — as with most names, including many Tanakh names from the later books.
The verse of your name
There is a custom: at the end of the prayer one says a Torah verse that begins with the first letter of one's name and ends with its last. For ולדימיר these are ו and ר. The Pentateuch has 315 such verses. The first of them is Genesis 1:3:
ויאמר אלהים יהי אור ויהי אור
This is from the portion Bereshit. What it is about: Creation in six days and the Sabbath; Adam and Eve in the garden; Cain and Abel; ten generations to Noah.

How it is counted
Each Hebrew letter has a number; a word's number is their sum (alef 1 … tav 400). The page is the remainder modulo 354: the Torah divided into 354 pages of 861 letters, as the lunar year has 354 days. Everything can be checked by hand.
