Suvorov Military School
The 41st Rifle Corps was withdrawn to the Belorussian Military District postwar, and Meshcheryakov remained its deputy commander until August 1946. Between 1946 and 1947, he was a special correspondent for the Voyenny Vestnik magazine. In April 1947, Meshcheryakov was sent to Mongolia as a military adviser to the head of the Sukhbataar Military School in Ulaanbaatar. Returning to the Soviet Union in July 1950, he became chief of the Stalingrad Suvorov Military School in Orenburg, which was renamed the Chkalov Suvorov Military School in 1957. On 31 May 1954, he was promoted to Major General. Meshcheryakov retired in May 1958, living in Moscow before his death on May 13, 1970. He was buried at the Vagankovo Cemetery.
