On November 5, 1918, he was admitted to the All-Russia College on the Problems of the Museums and on Preservation of Art and History Monuments in the RSFSR People’s Commissariat of Education (Narkompros). During the first months of the Commission activity P.A. Florensky and P.N. Kapterev worked out a project of the organization of the Museum in the Lavra and together with Yu.A.
