Markuschewitsch attended the university in Tashkent until 1930 , until 1934 he received an apprenticeship at the Lomonossow University in Moscow under Mikhail Alexejewitsch Lavrentjew . There he taught from 1935, from 1946 until his death in 1979 as a professor.

His specialty was the theory of analytical functions , on which he also wrote a number of mathematical-historical works.

In addition, he dealt with the training of mathematics teachers and mathematics school education, also worked on corresponding school books. In 1945 he was admitted to the Russian Academy of Pedagogical Sciences as a corresponding member.

From 1958 to 1963 Markuschewitsch was Deputy Minister for Education of the Russian Soviet Federal Socialist Republic (RSFSR).
