Rank: soldier of the Red Army. Type of service: - ground troops, - air force (except naval aviation), - coast guard, troops of the NKVD, - border guard. Before the war he lived with his family in the Sverdlovsk region, Turinskiy District, Nasarovo village. There he worked as an accountant. He was married to Maria Varvolomeevna Sosnovsky (1908-1994) and had two children: a daughter, Alla (1929-2017), and a son, Evgeny (1934-1941). He was drafted into the army on 30.08.1941. In Irbit all soldiers were loaded into freight cars and transported away. Pavel wrote his only letter from the war in Krasnoufimsk, on the way to the front, in September 1941: "Good day, Marusya, Alya, Zhenya and Tasya. How do you live? We live ok. We got on the train and went to Krasnoufimsk together: Vydrin, Poznyshev, Botalov, Georgy Markov. We will be there in the evening. Marusya, I forgot to tell you that Zhenya must go to school. That is it, we are off. It's 6 in the morning. When we get there, I will write to you. 01.09.41, Pavel Kachurin - turinskiy district, Ustinovskii rural Council, the Farm Nazarovo, to Kokorina Maria Varfolomeeva". In December 1941, after Pavel's death, Kochurin received a letter with a "note" containing information about Pavel (date of birth, place of residence, full name of his wife, called by the Turin Military Recruitment Office). The letter was sent from Vasily Skvortsov, Pavel's colleague. It was written: "Good afternoon, Pavel Kochurin's family, wife and children. I inform you that your husband Pavel Kochurin was killed. We are in the direction of Volokolamsk, in the village of Smolnikova". With this letter, his wife Maria went to the village council of the village, where she was sent to the office of conscription, where all this was taken from her. They said they would make an application. After that we received a missing persons report, because Pavel did not have the "posthumous note" that Skwortsow had taken from the dead man. So he was killed around November 1941.
