On February 16, 1948, he was appointed Minister of Internal Affairs of the TASSR, instead of P. N. Gorbulin. He was also a deputy of the Supreme Council of the TASSR II convocation. Some researchers of the Tatar internal affairs bodies link the name of Chenborisov with the establishment in Kazan of the Higher Military-Political School of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, pointing out that "the traditions of ideological confrontation have significant traditions in our region". In 1949, after an attempt by believers to conduct a religious procession from the monastery at the village of Semiozerka in the Yudinsky district to Kazan, the bureau of the Tatar Regional Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks noted in its decision that Chenborisov did not take measures against the “organization of a mass gathering by churchmen” and does not proper anti-religious work.

On July 12, 1950, the Politburo of the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks issued a resolution "On violations of the law in the work of the prosecutor's office, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Supreme Court of the Tatar ASSR", in which, based on the materials of the Party Control Commission, it was indicated that in the work of these departments "there were numerous facts of distortions judicial policy and the grossest perversions of Soviet laws in the investigation of criminal cases, as a result of which those guilty of large-scale theft of socialist property were left unpunished and a large number of citizens were subjected to illegal arrests and brought to trial on unfounded charges”. Among the examples of “unworthy behavior of individual employees”, it was mentioned that Chenborisov “did not ensure the correct selection of investigative personnel, unsatisfactorily managed the work of the ministry apparatus”, and “having signals about the use of illegal methods of investigation by a number of employees subordinate to him, due to which they were brought to justice responsible for innocent people, did not investigate these facts and did not punish the violators of Soviet legality”.
