Branch of troops: the Soviet Navy and Naval forces of the NKVD border troops. Peter was born in 1919 in the village of Kazakevichevo, Khabarovsk region, in a family of a peasant. He studied at the primary school of the village of Kazakevichevo, then finished 7 classes at the Krasnorechinskaya school. From 8th to 10th grade, he studied in Khabarovsk at school No. 33 of the Energomash plant. In 1939, he was drafted into the Navy. He joined the school of communications on the Russian island, graduated from it, was sent to the radio center of the fleet, and then the war started. He was just 22 years old. From the memoirs of Peter Petrovich: participated in the battle with the Japanese from August 9, 1945 to September 3, 1945. Participated in landings to capture coastal fortifications and the city of Seisin. Was decommissioned to the frigate "The Deuce" before the start of the war. The naval brigade embarked on the frigate, and on August 11 or 12 at night moved away from the walls of Novikov Bay to the port of Seisin. It was a major port. There were numerous strongholds all around. When we entered the port, there was almost no resistance. It was night time when we start to conquer the city. But then the Japanese woked up and began to push our small landing force. Right after that our squad start to have losses, killed and wounded. I was on the beach with the radio station and the commander. When the Japanese began to come closer and began to fire at our ship, it had to move away from the walls of the city and fire from the sea. Our gunners covered the targets well so it was difficult to withdraw the wounded and took away the dead. Reinforcements arrived: patrol boats and minesweepers effectively removed the minefields in the Bay. After that the landing craft began to approach. The Japanese were not willing to surrender for a long time and were trying hard to withstand us, since Seishin was the base city: troops were transferred to it from Japan to Korea and back.
