Moisey Florensky completed four classes of primary school in Židikai. From 1929 to 1937 and again from 1939 to 1941 he worked as a leather craftsman in a private workshop in Židikai. Between 1937 and 1939 he served in the Lithuanian Army.

During the Second World War he worked as a laborer at a distillery in Yaransk, Kirov region (1941–1942 and 1943–1945). In 1942 he served as a private in the Lithuanian division of the Soviet Army but was demobilized due to health reasons. In 1946 he moved to Riga, where until 1947 he worked as a watchman at the enterprise Glavtorgtsvetmet. From 1947 to 1965 he worked as a leather craftsman and tanner in various enterprises, including the Riga invalids’ artel, the artel “Sedlinieks,” and the Stalin District industrial combine (later the “Venta” combine and the “Kosmos” factory).
