Loginov died in 1940 of tuberculosis. For his achievements he was rewarded with Order of the Red Star (1937), Order of Lenin (1939), and Stalin Prize (1941, after his death).  He was initially buried in Livadiya, Crimea, but his ashes were exhumed and reburied with military honours in the Federal Military Memorial Cemetery in Moscow Oblast on 3 September 2020.
