Biography Pyotr Gavrilov was an ethnic Kryashen Tatar and a major in command of the 44th Motor Rifle Regiment of the 42nd Rifle Division. On 23 July 1941, he was taken captive by the Germans after holding out for 31 days and was held captive until his release after the end of the war in May 1945. After his release from captivity, he was restored to the army in the same rank, but his party membership was not restored due to the loss of his membership card and stay in captivity. He was reassigned as the chief of camp for Japanese prisoners of war in Siberia in 1946–1947. Afterwards, he moved to Krasnodar.
