He was recruited by state security services as a trustworthy agent. He supplied valuable information about the activities of Zionist organizations in Estonia and abroad. His information was known by its objectivity, by the in-depth analysis of the activity of subjects. He was a courageous and capable person, showing appropriate initiative in fulfilling his duties.
