After marching in the Moscow Victory Day parade on 24 June 1945 he was subsequently demobilized from the military. Upon return to his hometown he was enthusiastically greeted by his countrymen, although many of his colleagues were left wondering why he wasn't awarded the Gold Star considering his sniper tally. From then to 1949 he headed the military department of the Tattinsky District Communist Party committee, in addition to becoming a member of the Council of Nationalities of the Supreme Soviet in 1946. From 1949 to 1951 he was director of the Tattinsky office for the procurement of furs, and from then to 1954 he was manager of the Tattinsky district office of the Yakutsk meat trust. From 1954 until he retired in 1960 he worked on a collective farm. On 6 May 1965 he was belatedly awarded the title Hero of the Soviet Union and the Order of Lenin, but he died just a few years later on 28 May 1968. He and his wife Anna, awarded Mother Heroine, had ten children.
