Martyr Peter was born in 1877 in the village of Siblovo, Goritskaya volost, Korchevsky district of Tver province. By profession, he was a carpenter and during the persecutions by the godless served as an assistant to the elder in the church of the village of Boklanovo. On March 25, 1931, he was sent to Moscow to purchase candles, but after a conversation with a railway worker, he was arrested for 'anti-Soviet statements.'
Peter Lavrentevich was interrogated in the Zagorsk prison and answered questions about his religious affiliation. He emphasized that he did not oppose the authorities, but could not do things displeasing to God. On June 6, 1931, the Collegium of the OGPU sentenced him to execution, which was carried out on June 10, 1931. Peter was buried in an unmarked grave at the Vagankovo Cemetery in Moscow.
