During the 2022 FIFA World Cup, Bashkirov travelled to Qatar and produced podcasts for an independent Russian radio station.[6]
VPS
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 Finnish premier division Veikkausliiga.[7] After his first season with VPS, Bashkirov was named in the Veikkausliiga Team of the Year, and the Midfielder of the Year.
