Released on 09.03.1922, went to Moscow. There, after a meeting on 13.03.1922 with Tikhon, Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia, during was awared the rank of archbishop and was appointed bishop of the Astrakhan eparchy, arrested again, this time by agents of the Moscow Cheka, and accused of issuing proclamations against „those who illegally try to take power in the Church” (i.e. representatives of the so‐called revisionist movement collaborating with the Bolsheviks).

Transported to the prison in Vladimir on Klazma river.

From there exiled to Zyryansk, in the Pribaikal district in the republic of Buryatia (according to other sources, to Ust‐Sysolsk, the capital of the republic of Komi).

Released after a year, in 1923 — before taking over the Astrakhan Eparchy, ministered for some time in Volokolamsk and Moscow.

In mid–12.1926, in connection with the arrests of the hierarchy of the Church in Moscow, left for Moscow to take over the administration of the Church as Lat. locum tenens (Eng. „holding reins”), acting („ad interim”). On the way stopped by the Bolsheviks in Saratov and deported to Kuznetsk, without the right to leave the city. Resided there until 03.1928.

On 29.09.1936, the communists in Tver forbade him to celebrate public services, refusing to register him as a priest.

Great Purge 1937: „Great Terror” (also «Great Purge», also called „Yezhovshchyna” after the name of the then head of the NKVD) — a Russian state action of political terror, planned and directed against millions of innocent victims — national minorities, wealthier peasants (kulaks), people considered opponents political, army officers, the greatest intensity of which took place from 09.1936 to 08.1938. It reached its peak starting in the summer of 1937, when Art. 58‐14 of the Penal Code about „counter‐revolutionary sabotage” was passed , which became the basis for the „legalization” of murders, and on 02.07.1937 when the highest authorities of Russia, under the leadership of Joseph Stalin, issued a decree on the initiation of action against the kulaks. Next a number of executive orders of the NKVD followed, including No. 00439 of 25.07.1937, starting the liquidation of 25,000‐42,000 Germans living in Russia (mainly the so‐called Volga Germans); No. 00447 of 30.07.1937, beginning the liquidation of „anti‐Russian elements”, and No. 00485[2] of 11.08.1937, ordering the murder of 139,835 people of Polish nationality (the latter was the largest operation of this type — encompassed 12.5% of all those murdered during the «Great Purge», while Poles constituted 0.4% of the population). In the summer of 1937 Polish Catholic priests held in Solovetsky Islands, Anzer Island and ITL BelbaltLag were locked in prison cells (some in Sankt Petersburg). Next in a few kangaroo, murderous Russian trials (on 09.10.1937, 25.11.1937, among others) run by so‐called «NKVD Troika» all were sentenced to death. They were subsequently executed by a single shot to the back of the head. The murders took place either in Sankt Petersburg prison or directly in places of mass murder, e.g. Sandarmokh or Levashov Wilderness, where their bodies were dumped into the ditches. Other priests were arrested in the places they still ministered in and next murdered in local NKVD headquarters (e.g. in Minsk in Belarus), after equally genocidal trials run by aforementioned «NKVD Troika» kangaroo courts.

Vladimir (on Klaźma river): On of the harshest Russian prisons for political prisoners where dozens of catholic priest were held.
