Modest, simple, friendly to everyone and everyone, Pavel Pavlovich always carefully listened to the opinions and wishes of the submarine commanders, allowed to argue with himself and never abused the power granted to him. For these qualities he was universally respected and earned the nickname "Papa" on the brigade, which he was always proud of.
To this it is worth adding that he never tried to avoid danger and, although this was not absolutely required by his position, he personally went to dives to great depths or to tests, from which the boat risked not returning.
