He received good recommendation from gendarmerie for his service in Suwałki: ”В преданности его правительству и в сочувствии национальному Русскому делу, нет никакого повода усомниться. Своей обязанности он зани- мает весьма усердно”. On some other occasions he was described as being knowl- edgeable about his work. He was clever in his relations with pr. Cherkassky, which allowed him to put his projects forward. If gendarmerie had any reservations, these were caused by his presumable gullibility and reckless confidence in Polish clerks. As a curator of the scientific district he was regarded as a supporter of the Minis- ter of Education D. A. Tolstoy, who backed him up in his conflict with Governor- General of Kharkov. 14. He died on 12 April 1890 in St. Petersburg, buried on the Lutheran cem- etary in Volkovo. 15.
