Schmidt continued his work. He was also the director of the garden. Botanical Garden on Pechersk (Kiev) was created slowly.

Despite all the obstacles before the SecondWorld War II, the garden already boasted 1050 plant species and a thousand taxa of greenhouse crops. All this happened thanks to the new director Ya. K. Gotsik and M. M. Grishko, who at that time headed the Academy of Sciences.
