He was one of the founders of the modern study of the Tangut language of the mediaeval Xi Xia Empire. He spent most of his research career in Japan before returning to the USSR where he worked at the Leningrad State University, LIFLI, the Institute of Oriental Studies (then based in Leningrad), and the Hermitage Museum. In January 1935 he was awarded a Doctor of Science degree based on the sum of his work, without submitting a thesis. On the night of 3 / 4 Oct, 1937 N.A.
