Pushin graduated from Saratov grammar school in 1894 and then studied at the physical - mathematical faculty of the University of St. Petersburg . In 1898 he completed his studies with a 1st class diploma. Then, at the invitation of Nikolai Kurnakows , professor at the St. Petersburg Electrical Engineering Institute (ETI), he began teaching and researching at the ETI. On the initiative of AA Krakow , the Electrochemistry Department was founded in the ETI with the help of Pushin and existed until 1930. 1900–1904 Puschin investigated the phases of equilibrium of metallic elementsSystems and published the developed phase diagrams with the results . For this he received the Beketow Prize. To do this, he determined the effects of high pressures on the equilibrium of binary systems. In 1907, Pushin took part in the 1st Mendeleev Congress for General and Applied Chemistry of the ETI in St. Petersburg.

1909 Pushin was to defend his dissertation at the University of Moscow to master chemistry doctorate and was appointed professor at the EIT. He taught inorganic chemistry and physical chemistry as well as theoretical and applied electrochemistry. Now he investigated the production of aluminum by electrolysis of aluminum oxide melts . In 1913 he was the first to receive 400 g of aluminum from Russian ore , for which he received the Ilyenkov Prize. He became a member of the Council of the EIT and co-editor of the Chemical Society's communications. Among his students were Ilya Grebenschtschikow , Maximilian Maksimenko and Pyotr Antipin .

During the First World War he took part in the organization of the production of optical glass and chlorine and its compounds. He wrote essays on the gas war and the consequences for the population. For his services he received a gold watch with sapphires and several orders (Russian Order of Saint Stanislaus III. Class, Russian Order of Saint Anne III. And II. Class, Order of Saint Vladimir IV. Class).
