He maintained close contacts with Ivan Franko , with whom he published the scientific and literary magazine " Громадський друг " (German "Society Friend "), the organ of the democratic youth of western Ukraine, in 1878 .
He was arrested for the first time in 1877 because of his correspondence with Mychajlo Drahomanow and the term "socialist" contained therein. In order to avoid another prison sentence, he stayed in Geneva and Montpellier between 1879 and 1882 and during this time helped Drahomanow and Serhij Podolynskyj with the preparation of the journal "Hromada".
