details of death
During World War I, as a result of the Russian defeat in the Battle of Gorlice in 05.1915, escaped with millions of Russian officials, teachers, military personnel, etc., i.e. members of the Russian administration in Russian–occupied Poland, deep into Russia (so‐called bezhenstvo).
Settled in Pereslavl–Zalessky, c. 140 km northeast of Moscow, where soon became a chaplain of the Russian Imperial Army and, together with the 4th Dragoon Regiment, as part of the 1st Cavalry Corps of the 5th Army reserve, took part in 1916‐1917 in battles on the Northern Front.
After the Bolshevik coup in 10.1917 left the army and returned to minister in Belarus.
After the Polish–Russian war of 1919‐1921 found himself in the terriotry that remained in Russia controlled by the Bolsheviks.
On 16.03.1929, the local „revolutionary” Russian authorities confiscated the books, diaries and other documents kept by his Tal parish.
A year later, in 1930, sentenced by a court — for failing to pay the exorbitant taxes imposed by the Bolsheviks on his parish — to physical labour cutting down trees. Released on parole after 6 months, but his parish house (purchased in 1927 by the parishioners) where lived was robbed — from then on, his family moved from apartment to apartment.
Finally arrested on 22.02.1933. Accused of, among others, „conducting religious propaganda” (i.a. accused of wondering, while working in the forest, „why the Soviet government does not impose draft regulations on rabbis but all on priests?”, as well as „spreading rumors about the pope's arrival in the village Tal”.
Last interrogated on 24.03.1933.
On 21.04.1933 tried by the criminal Russian kangaroo court «GPU Troika» and — together with the church psalmist and the mayor of his parish village — sentenced to death.
Shot in unknown circumstances.

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.
