After Simeon left London in 1925, he worked in Moscow and remained unsuccessful to be employed outside Russia. From 1927-1932 he was employed in Kamchatka, in Petropavlovsk and Vladivostock by a newly formed state company seeking to exploit resources in the most remote areas. Back in Moscow in 1932 he joined "Intourist", a state travel organisation. Simeon died in 1933 of typhoid whilst travelling to Tbilisi.
