Beginning in 1921, both Vedeneyeva and Avramenko taught at the Moscow State Forest University. Vedeneyva taught physics there until she was transferred in 1925 to Leningrad. Avramenko was also transferred to Leningrad in 1925. The following year, Vedeneyva's son, Yevgeny, who was a student at the Moscow Higher Technical School, was arrested and charged as an enemy of the state for participating in scouting, a banned activity. After spending six months at the Solovki prison camp, he was barred from living in any of Russia's major cities and sent in exile to Glazov. It was probably in this period in 1927, when Vedeneyeva met Sophia Parnok, as Parnok's partner at the time, Olga Nikolaevna Tsuberbiller, was a colleague of Vedeneyeva. Tsuberbiller was a mathematician and had written the standard textbook used for several decades in the high schools of the USSR. She assisted Vedeneyeva in obtaining the textbooks Yevgeny needed to complete his mathematics degree. In 1929, he continued his exile in Tver and was not allowed to return to Moscow until 1931.
