On 26 February 2020, he signed with Polish club Zagłębie Lubin until the end of June 2020 with an extension option.[4] Having made no appearances since September 2021 due to injuries, and with less than three months left on his contract, Bashkirov left Zagłębie by mutual consent on 12 April 2022, partly due to pressure affected by the Russian Invasion of Ukraine.[5][6]
After having terminated his contract, Bashkirov was without club for the rest of 2022. He lived in Turkey for a couple of months, and had unsuccessful negotiations with a club from Andorra. During the 2022 FIFA World Cup, Bashkirov travelled to Qatar and produced podcasts for an independent Russian radio station.[6]
On 10 March 2023, after a trial with Finnish second-tier club Salon Palloilijat (SalPa), Bashkirov signed a two-year contract with Vaasan Palloseura (VPS) in the Finnish premier division Veikkausliiga.[7] At the end of his first season with VPS, Bashkirov helped the club to finish 3rd in the league, and was named in the Veikkausliiga Team of the Year, and the Midfielder of the Year. Next 2024 season, Bashkirov was named one of the team captains. He also represented VPS in the UEFA Conference League qualifiers, making his first appearances in a European competition in his career.[8]
Bashkirov has represented Russia at under-19 youth international level.
Bashkirov was born in Saint Petersburg to a cultural family. His father's sport was diving and his mother competed in orienteering. Bashkirov has written poems since he was a child, and has expressed his devotion for literature. He is a fluent English speaker.
Bashkirov has publicly condemned the Russian invasion of Ukraine on several occasions.[9]
Bashkirov is married and lives together with his wife Katja in Vaasa, after they were separated for four months during 2022.[6]
