In 1943 he moved to Ukraine, where until 1945 he worked on a collective farm in the Poltava Region.

In 1945 he returned to Riga. Until 1946 he worked as a storekeeper at the Riga Railway School and as a forwarding agent in the 2nd municipal food trade organization. In 1948–1952 he was a worker and scrap collector in the artels “Pārdaugava” and “Taupība.” In 1952–1959 he worked as a riveter of rubber boots in the artels “Sacensība,” “Blāzma,” and “Krasny Khimik.” In 1959–1960 he was a vulcanizer at the Riga Chemical Factory. From 1962 he worked as a home-based worker at the “Kvele” factory.
