From September to November 1941, as a cadet, he participated in the defense of Leningrad. He carried watch on roofs of houses, along with other cadets, put out incendiary bombs and caught saboteurs who, with flashlights and rockets from roofs of houses, gave signals and target designations to German bombers. In November, the academy was transferred to Samarkand, where Vitaly Georgievich graduated from it in 1946, having been assigned by the captain of the medical service to the landing troops in the town of Efremov near Tula, to the post of doctor of the battalion of the 351st MPD.

In 1949, Vitaliy Georgievich was seconded to the Main Directorate of the Northern Sea Route as a flagship doctor. He had to treat the expedition members, but most importantly, if necessary, provide emergency assistance to aircraft crews in the event of an accident or emergency landing on a drifting ice floe.
Once in the expedition of the Northern Sea Route, the paratrooper simultaneously fulfilled a particularly important state task: on May 9, 1949, he, together with A.P. Medvedev, landed with a parachute on the North Pole. For this world's first parachute jump to the North Pole, they were awarded the Order of the Red Banner.

In May 1952, he was appointed junior researcher at the Scientific Research Testing Institute of Aviation Medicine (SRII AM - or IAM), where he participated in the development of rescue equipment for aircraft of various types in the laboratory of shock overloads. In 1954–1955 he was appointed a doctor and research associate at the North Pole-3 drifting station.
Since 1959, Vitaly Georgievich was transferred to a special research laboratory, dealing with the problems of survival of pilots, and subsequently astronauts, after a forced landing and splashdown. In 1960, he organized and led a group of parachutists to provide medical care and medical examination of astronauts at the landing site. I personally conducted a medical examination of the astronauts Yuri Gagarin, German Titov, Andriyan Nikolaev and Valery Bykovsky.
Since 1971, Vitaliy Georgievich headed the research laboratory and under his leadership and direct participation, as an experimenter and tester, over 40 expeditions to the Arctic, the Arctic, taiga, deserts, and mountains were carried out.
After demobilization in 1983, Vitaly Georgievich moved to the Institute of Biomedical Problems as a senior researcher, where he was the responsible executor of a number of scientific topics related to human life support in extreme conditions of the hot desert and the Arctic, took part in testing and developing a special emergency equipment. He carried out scientific management of scientific and sports expeditions: "Man and the Desert", "Komsomolskaya Pravda", "Soviet Russia", "Metelitsa", repeatedly conducted training sessions with astronauts on survival in the desert, highlands and afloat.
In 1988-1991, he led the implementation of the joint Soviet-Indian experiment “Khimdom” - “Physiological reactions of the human body to a quick change from tropical to arctic climate”, conducted in India and the Kola Arctic with the participation of Indian military personnel.

In 1998-2000 he regularly lectured at the Faculty of Fundamental Medicine of Moscow State University named after MV Lomonosov in training courses "Medical Ecology" and "Space Medicine". He made speeches at the All-Union and international conferences on aviation and space biology and medicine. Repeatedly traveled abroad as part of scientific expeditions to conduct research on the survival of the flight crew and astronauts and test special equipment in the jungle and tropical oceans.
