He studied at the real school and medical school and in 1915 was drafted into the Russian army. He was captured by the Germans during World War I, returned to Verkhneudinsk in 1918 and in August 1919 was forcibly mobilised in Kolchak's army as a medic. In January 1920 he fled the army, joined volunteers in an engineering regiment of the Red Army and participated in battles in the Baikal region. He was later sent as a political officer in the squad to combat banditry and desertion. From 1921-24 he worked as the head of a department to fight organised crime in Baikal, the Buryat-Mongolian provincial departments of State Political Security (OGPU - Unified State Political Department). From 1933-38 he was the head of the Criminal Investigation Department of the secret police of Kazakhstan. In 1938 he was arrested for "participating in a counterrevolutionary organisation" and sentenced to 15 years in the camps. Released in 1955, he returned to his family in Omsk. He died on 29 May 1974.
