Lesnoi (bayan) at the Magadan Secondary School of Music in 1968, and studied composition under the guidance of R. K. Shchedrin (by way of consultation, 1968–1969), and with T. N. Khrennikov (at the Moscow Conservatoire, 1971–1972). He composed large-scale and chamber compositions, string quartets and vocal music, but is best known for his works for bayan (button accordion). Friedrich Lips and A. Surkov wrote in ''Anthology of Compositions for Button Accordion'': "The creative work of Vl. Zolotaryov can be described as a milestone of the utmost importance for the incontestable progress of accordion music. . . . In his ''Partita'' (1968), ''Six Children's Suites'' (1969/74), his ''Sonata N° 2'' (1971) and ''Sonata No. 3'' (1972), and ''Five Compositions'' (1971), the advantages of the new-type onverter free-bassaccordion have, as never before, been wholly revealed. The instrument has become a full and equal participant in the chamber sphere of art music."Friedrich Lips and A. Surkov, ''Anthology of Compositions for Button Accordion'' vol. I (Moscow: Muzyka, 1984), Foreword. Zolotaryov committed suicide at age 32.
