He served as an official in the Tsarist government, and achieved the title of Active State Councillor. Later, he became an honorary member of the Imperial Academy of Sciences, and nine universities across the Russian Empire (1906). Until 1917 he was a member of the Constitutional Democratic Party and the State Council. Following the February Revolution, he voluntarily handed away his mayoral seat of Kharkiv to the Socialist-Revolutionary Vladimir Karelin. From the 1930s he faced repression by the Soviets. In 1932 he died of pneumonia in Kharkiv and was buried there.[1][2][3]
