He served the former Imperial family during their exile in Siberia during the Russian Revolution. Shortly before the execution of the Romanov family, he fell ill and was interned in a prison hospital, where he was forgotten by the Reds (thus escaping execution together with the Romanovs) and then freed by the Whites. He is known as a witness of the imprisonment of the former imperial family.
