The last years of his life Polisadov spent in Murmansk. The press of those years reported: “Captains Samkov and Polisadov ... they were great friends. Every evening, in the evening, we walked along Leningradskaya Street - this was their favorite route. Something touching and at the same time a bit comical was in this pair: tall, dryish Polysad and chunky, grumpy Samkov. Neither give nor take Don Quixote and Sancho Panza. Walking, all the time they were talking about something animatedly, proving something to each other. As if they knew that they didn’t have a long walk left so close, as if they were in a hurry to say a word ..”. According to the memoirs of contemporaries, Peter Andreevich was a great original and master of practical jokes. He somehow managed to place an obituary about himself in the newspaper, and when his friends and relatives, stunned by sudden grief, showed up at his apartment - “funny” funeral wake ...
