After the war he moved to Czechoslovak to attend the Ukrainian Academy of Economics in Podebrady and published his first collection of poems. After graduation, he moved to Warsaw, Poland and began publishing books, gets married and has a son. Soon after WWII breaks out and he is put in a camp while his wife decides to leave him (reason unknown). He works as a lifter and a math teacher in a refugee camp in Regensburg, Germany.
