After a year as head of direct sales at Promsvyazbank's Tambov office, he returned to the university in November 2014 at the invitation of Vladimir Stromov, becoming deputy vice rector and head of marketing and sales, and from 2016 head of organisational and administrative affairs.

Moiseyev was married and had a daughter. Reports of his death said he was survived by his wife and daughter. Little else about his private life was made public.

Moiseyev died during the night of 4 to 5 November 2026, aged 39. According to the Tambov regional traffic police, the quad bike he was driving hit a metal barrier and overturned; he died at the scene. Kommersant placed the accident in the village of Tulinovka and Komsomolskaya Pravda in the settlement of Trigulyay, both in the suburban Tambov district. The circumstances were still under investigation when his death was announced. Governor Yevgeny Pervyshov confirmed the death and expressed condolences, and Derzhavin Tambov State University declared a day of mourning and silence.

Moiseyev led the Derzhavin university through the years after the sudden death of his predecessor, bringing a background in digital systems, finance and campus infrastructure to the rector's office. The university remembered him as a familiar presence in its corridors and at its events, a leader who understood what mattered to students and wanted Derzhavin to be a place where they were heard.
