During the Soviet occupation, he worked in the Finance Department in Przemyśl. During the German occupation, he was wanted by the Ukrainian police, and therefore he was in hiding.

On April 30, 1944, he was denounced to the German occupation authorities. As a result, he quit his current job and lived in his hometown, in Pacław. On May 2, 1944, he started working as a manipulator in a sawmill in Dobromil. SB‑OUN investigated him.

The fate of Roman Pietrusiewicz was tragic. As a child of several years, he witnessed the murder of his parents – Józef and Franciszka (née Kowalski) – by Ukrainian nationalists. Apart from him, also his grandmother, Maria Pietrusiewicz, survived the pogrom, and decided to leave Dobromil and flee the UPA bands marching in the area to a safer place.
