He fought in the Imperial Russian Army during World War I before going over to the Bolsheviks in the subsequent civil war. He was a recipient of the Order of the Red Banner. During the Great Purge, he was arrested on 3 May 1937 and executed two months later. After the death of Joseph Stalin, he was rehabilitated in 1956.
