On [[April 4]], 1869, Bp. Peter was assigned as diocesan bishop of Ufa and Menzelinsk and then to the Diocese of Tomsk and Semipalatinsk on [[November 19]], 1876. After a leave of absence residing at the Optima Pustyn Monastery from [[July 9]], 1883, he was appointed head of the Zaikonospassky Monastery in Moscow on [[February 11]], 1885. During 1885, he successively was assigned again to the Moscow office of the Holy Synod and then as administrator of the Novospassky Monastery. He died on [[May 27]], 1889.
Bp. Peter wrote widely on monasticism, missionary work, biblical commentary, and spiritual topics. These writings he left to the Optima Pustyn Monastery and now are being rediscovered and are highly regarded in post-communist Russia. One such work concerns his sermons given in the New Arkhangelsk (St. Michael's) Cathedral on Sitka Island which was originally published in 1865, and re-typset in electronic-format in 2007.
