In July he was arrested under the false accusation of membership in a counter-revolutionary White Guardist organization, but soon released.
   In 1922 he became a professor of the RKKA Military Academy (future Frunze Military Academy).
   On November 29, 1937 he was arrested as a "member of Latvian Fascist Organization in RKKA" and executed in 1938. He was rehabilitated in 1957.
