The work of the school and the Union of artists (Gurov has long been a member of the Board, the Chairman of the Saratov branch of Union of artists) practically did not leave time for creativity, and since the end of 1940-ies Gurov rarely participates in exhibitions.

Received by archive documentary Fund Gurov contains biographical materials, documents related to the studies at art school and the Academy, teaching and social work, photographs, which made it possible to compile a fairly complete picture of his life and work.
