After the defeat of Pepelyayev in March 1923, he again hid in the taiga, and participated in the Tungus Uprising from 1924 until 1925, which established the Provisional Tungus Central National Government. He became one of the detachment commanders.

Artemyev and his detachments laid down their arms on May 9, 1925. In accordance with the agreement, was amnestied. Prior to the beginning of 1927, he was in the Soviet service (secretary of the Nelkan parish, guide and translator), took up housekeeping.
In 1927, he went underground, with the beginning of the movement "confederalists" joined the rebel army of Ksenofontov.
