In 1895 he moved back to Paris as an attaché to the Russian embassy. He founded the French Cultural Institute in Saint Petersburg. In 1903, he studied painting and sculpture with Rodin. From 1907, he exhibited his paintings at the Salon. In the meantime he became vice-president of the French Institute of General Psychology in Paris.
