Институт красной профессуры
From 1920 to 1924, Maksakovsky worked as an instructor at a Bolshevik party school in Sverdlovsk, Ukraine and briefly at the Plekhanov Institute before he was invited to join the Institute of Red Professors in 1925. During this period, he suffered recurring bouts of illness, which ultimately led to his death at the age of 28 in 1928.
