Following the February Revolution of 1917 he was a gubernial commissioner of the Russian Provisional Government in the Ternopil region.[1] Then in January 1918 he became a deputy minister of the Ukrainian National Republic (UNR) serving under Volodymyr Vynnychenko.[1] Under the Hetman government he was a member of the Council of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, becoming the diplomatic representative of the UNR in Georgia and Kuban.[1] While in Kyiv, Kraskovsky also served as an advisor to the diplomatic representation of the Belarusian Democratic Republic and as Belarus' official representative at negotiations with Soviet Russia.
In 1925 he moved to Belarus. Here he was appointed as a lecturer at the Belarusian State University. He also worked at the Institute of Belarusian Culture and as a member of the Presidium of the Gosplan of the Belarusian Soviet Socialist Republic.[1]
