details of death
After the so‐called February Revolution in 1917 and the fall of tsarism in Russia refused to take part in the celebrations in honor of the overthrow of the Tsar held in Minsk.
In 08.1917 left Minsk and went to Moscow for the Local Council of the Russian Orthodox Church — the first council of the Russian Orthodox Church since the 17th century, whose most important decision was the restoration of the Moscow Patriarchate and the abolition of the synodal system.
The Bolshevik revolution of 10.1917 found him in Moscow.
A year later, already as an archbishop, left in 10.1918 for Kiev for the All–Ukrainian Orthodox Church Council.
Next, suffering from typhus, went to the Orthodox seminary on the island of Khalky (today: Heybeliada), the only theological school preparing candidates for priests of the Patriarchate of Constantinople — taught theology there for about a year.
In 1919, returned to Ukraine, to Novocherkask, then occupied by General Denikin's army of the White Armed Forces of Southern Russia, which was fighting the Bolsheviks.
At the turn of 1919/1920, escaping from the Bolsheviks, reached Bari in Italy through Yekaterinodar, Noworosiysk, Istanbul and Thessaloniki.
In 08.1920, at the invitation of the Polish authorities, came to Warsaw.
Began efforts to obtain the autocephaly of the Polish Orthodox Church, despite the opposition of some Orthodox bishops of dioceses in Poland: initially from the Patriarch of Moscow and the Council of Russia, and then — after the resignation of Patriarch Tikhon, an opponent of Polish autocephaly — from the Patriarch of Constantinople.
In 06.1922, renounced his Russian citizenship, adopting Polish.
Shot dead in his Warsaw residence by Archimandrite Smaragd (Łatyszenko), former rector of the Chełm Theological Seminary, a declared opponent of the autocephaly of Polish Orthodoxy, a Russian chauvinist.
The autocephaly of Polish Orthodoxy was granted by the Patriarchate of Constantinople on 13.11.1924 — a decision which was not recognized by the Moscow Patriarchate — marking a formal beginning to the Polish Autocephalous Orthodox Church PAKP.
Although formally not a member of the PAKP, was recognized as the founder of the PAKP and the first archbishop of the PAKP Warsaw–Chełm diocese.

Polish‐Russian war of 1919‐1921: War for independence of Poland and its borders. Poland regained independence in 1918 but had to fight for its borders with former imperial powers, in particular Russia. Russia planned to incite Bolshevik‐like revolutions in the Western Europe and thus invaded Poland. Russian invaders were defeated in 08.1920 in a battle called Warsaw battle („Vistula river miracle”, one of the 10 most important battles in history, according to some historians). Thanks to this victory Poland recaptured part of the lands lost during partitions of Poland in XVIII century, and Europe was saved from the genocidal Communism.
