Konstantin Pyadyshev

Konstantin Pavlovich Pyadyshev was born in December 1890 in Saint Petersburg, the son of a white-collar employee.

Always cool and decisive in battle, Comrade Pyadyshev precisely and accurately fulfilled all combat objectives entrusted to him, giving the opportunity for the 2nd Cossack Cavalry Corps to boldly advance on the enemy, not afraid of any incidents.

In February 1936 he took command of the 90th Rifle Division, and in March 1937 rose to deputy chief of staff of the Leningrad Military District.

[1] When Germany invaded the Soviet Union on 22 June 1941, the Leningrad Military District was reorganized as the Northern Front, with Pyadyshev continuing as deputy commander.

He was sentenced by the Military Collegium of the Supreme Court of the Soviet Union to ten years of imprisonment in a Gulag camp, charged with conducting anti-Soviet agitation.
