Until here, everything looks normal, but when searching through another archives website, a new document comes up showing a big twist in Peresada's life less than four weeks after being recommended for an Order of the Red Banner. This document is the "list of personnel who died of wounds, disease, and convicted by Court-Martial" and was issued on 19 December 1944 by the 5th Mine-Torpedo Aviation "Kirkenes" Division.
It shows that, on 3 October 1944, Peresada got dismissed from the Red Army and Navy and was sentenced by the Court-Martial of the Northern Fleet to 8 years of restricted freedom in the forced labor camps (ITL - GULAG). The document also show that he was married to Olga Alekseevna Peresada, born in 1906, and living in the Russian city of Chkalov (now Orenburg), Chkalov oblast, at 10 Komunarov street, apartment № 5.
At the time of Peresada's conviction, his unit was in the last stage of preparation for the Petsamo-Kirkenes operation that was launched a few days later.
Despite his conviction exactly a month earlier, he still received his Long Service Order of the Red Banner as part of the mass-awarding of the 3 November 1944 by Ukaz of the Presidium of Supreme Soviet of USSR.
