Rabbi Pesach Pruskin died in Kobrin at the beginning of the year 1940 during the Soviet regime, when the end of Jewish Kobrin had already begun. Two of his sons should be mentioned, R' Natan Netta and R' Leib. R' Natan Netta was a righteous person, great in the Torah, who died before his father in Kobrin. R' Leib became the son-in-law of Rabbi Moshe Rosenstein, who was the spiritual superintendent in the yeshiva of Lomza. Only the youngest son survived and remained alive and is now in New York with other refugees of Mir Yeshiva. https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/kobrin1/kob331.html#Page332
