In 1940, he returned to Ternopil and became a senior accountant in the regional office of the State Savings Bank. In 1941, he was drafted into the Red Army and trained as a military medical instructor. That same year, he served as a medical orderly in the 836th Reserve Rifle Regiment, and from 1941–1946 worked as a clerk and senior accountant in the finance department of the 537th marching column.

After his demobilization in 1946, he moved to Riga. There he worked as:
