In the years 1925-1929 he studied philosophy at the Institute of Red Professors, which had the responsibility for educating a new Soviet intelligentsia.
From 1950 to 1956 he worked in Bucharest as the editor-in-chief of the official newspaper of the Cominfirm, For a Lasting Peace, for a People's Democracy!.
In the 1920s a debate raged within Soviet Dialectical Materialism between the Mechanists and the Dialecticians of the Deborin School.
