Walter was more likely originally named Volodymir.
Church Records should show his full name
as ВЛАДИМИР ЛЕВЧЕНКО. Mother was Marya and Father was Yakov. You should try ascertaining his exact DOB (including month and day) before starting to research the five+ Orthodox Churches in Voronizh. These are in Russian, so make sure you have all the names transliterated.

LDS has filmed Census and Military Records for 1829. There are also church registers available from the five+
Orthodox Churches in Voronizh, which should provide you w/a family tree. Have you ever researched LDS films?
