His father was of aristocratic descent, member of the Sheremetev family and an officer of the 1st Polish Army during World War II.

In October 2008 he became professor and head of the cadre of law of the Wydział Zamiejscowy Prawa i Nauk o Społeczeństwie KUL w Stalowej Woli.

He left the War Studies Academy in 2017, not wanting to work in an organization subordinate to Minister of National Defense, Antoni Maciarewicz, criticizing his lack of action as MOND.

From 1973 to 1976 he was a member of Bolesław Piasecki's Stowarzyszenie "Pax" which had good relations with the government, but at the same time he was secretly part of the conspiratory, anti-communist Ruch Movement.

In 1976 he was one of the founders of ROPCiO, the Movement of Defence of Human and Civil Rights, alongside Leszek Moczulski.

In 1985 he decided to leave the KPN after internal fights started to arise and he created his own Polish Independent Party – New Right.

Under the government of Jerzy Buzek he again served as Vice-minister of National Defense with the intention of creating the Territorial Defence Forces,[4] but was dismissed from the government as a result of false allegations of corruption against him by two Polish journalists of the "Rzeczpospolita", Anna Marszałek and Bertold Kittel, which had a history of slandering politicians.
