He was an associate professor of Slavic studies and professor of history at the University of Manitoba and a professor of Russian and Soviet history at the University of Ottawa. He was the author of several books including, "For a Better Canada", "The Ukrainians in Manitoba: A Social History", and "Ukrainian Canadians: Their Place and Role in Canadian Life".
