Regarding your grandfather's brother Piotr, you say he was in contact with your grandfather shortly AFTER the war, but also that his last known whereabouts were in Archangelsk. ?Do you know if he ever left Russia? ?Where was he after the war?
If he was still in Russia after the 1941 amnesty, it is possible that Alexander Guryanov at the Memorial Society in Moscow can check for any information in the former NKVD archives in Archangelsk - see details at http://www.aforgottenodyssey.com/reference.html ?One word of warning, Alexander has been out of circulation for several months, and there may be a long delay in hearing back from him. ?However, it is worth a try. ?Let us know how you make out. ?The other place worth checking is, of course, with the Ministry of Defense in case he made it to Anders' Army.
However, if Piotr made it out of Russia, where was he after the war - in Poland?
By the way, do you know how it is that your grandfathers, living in Poland, were arrested by the Soviets BEFORE the war? ?Were they across the border in the USSR for some reason?

From: "moscickijordan"
[...] My grandfather was born in 1907. He had two brothers - Leonard
(b:1899)and Piotr (b:1906), and a sister Janina (b:1901)
Between the years 1937 - 1939 both my great-grandfathers were arrested by
the Soviets and deported to Siberia, where they died. [...]. My
grandfather's sister emigrated to France and my grandfather to Canada. His
two brothers were last heard from just after the war, but due to fear of the
communists finding them, never resumed contact. [...] My mission now is to
find the other brother Piotr Moscicki and/or his family. His last known
whereabouts was Archangelsk, Russia. He could have emigrated anywhere.
