Prince Dmitri Alexandrovich Schtschepin-Rostowski ( Russian Дмитрий Александрович Щепин-Ростовский / Dmitri Aleksandrovich Ščepin-Rostovskij *  1798 , † October 22 . Jul / 3. November  1859 greg. In Shuya ) was a Russian Staff Captain and Dekabrist .

Dmitri, son of Alexander Ivanovich Schtschepin-Rostowski and his wife Olga Mironovna, born Warenzowa-Tarchowskaja, entered on March 5, 1810 in the St. Petersburg naval academy of the Russian Navy one was there on September 9, 1813 Guard Marin and on February 18, 1816 Mitschman . In 1817/18 he took part in a training voyage from Kronstadt to Cádiz on the Neptun . Became a lieutenant on April 22, 1821 , he left the Navy on November 29, 1822 as a captain of the navy and on December 1, 1823, as a Porutschik, joined the Moscow Bodyguard Regiment. In 1825 he commanded the 6th Fusilier Company there.

Dmitri Shchepin-Rostovsky's participation in the preliminary discussions on the uprising of the Decembrists with Kondrati Ryleev and Evgeny Obolensky is controversial. In any case, Wladimir Steinheil denies participation in his memoirs. Shchepin-Rostovsky fought on December 14, 1825 on Senate Square with Alexander and Mikhail Bestuschew; led an insurgent company. Five soldiers who opposed the attackers were wounded; including the two generals Wassili Nikanorowitsch Schenschin and Pjotr ​​Andrejewitsch Frederiks.

On the day of the uprising, that on December 14, 1825 Dmitri Schtschepin-Rostowski was arrested at the St. Petersburg Senate seat in the house of the businessman Mikhail Alexeyevich Kussownikow and on 17 December in the Alexei Ravelin , a high-security wing of the Peter and Paul Fortress imprisoned, . The prisoner was handcuffed there until April 30, 1826. Initially sentenced to death, the "state criminal", who had lost all titles, was given his life on July 10, 1826. The pardon was lifelong katorga . On August 8th he came to Svartholm fortress. There the sentence was reduced to twenty years on August 22nd. On August 25th the journey went east to Ostrog Chita . In September 1830, Shchepin-Rostovsky was taken to the Peter's ironworks . He did not lose his courage; sang along in the prisoner's choir.

In 1839 he was released prematurely from the Katorga and was allowed to live in what is now Mugjewo in the Evenki area. In the village he made the most of his exile. Shchepin-Rostovsky wrote poetry, played string instruments and interpreted passages in the Bible that were difficult to understand for Russian settlers.

On April 9, 1842, his mother managed to move the son to Kurgan . Leaving Irkutsk on September 10th, he arrived in Tobolsk on September 28th and finally in Kurgan on October 15th. He lived there for fourteen years at the expense of his dear mother. The exile, in the eyes of the Tobolsk governor a loafers and a restless spirit, celebrated many a victory in the years of guerrilla warfare against the police and civil servants. For the last two years of his stay in Siberia , he was even certified as having good behavior.

On August 26, 1856, Shchepin-Rostovsky was finally allowed to leave Siberia. However, he was no longer allowed to use the title of prince. He settled on one of the ancestral estates of the Shchepin -Rostovsky noble family in Ivankowo in the Rostov district on Lake Nero .

Shchepin-Rostovsky died of paralysis in the Shuja hospital and was buried in the cemetery at the Church of St. Vasily Pariski near Shuya. It was rumored that he was poisoned at a ball. The Ochrana investigated, arranged for the exhumation in 1880 and confiscated the deceased's documents found in the grave. In 1919, robbers rummaged through the grave for supposed treasures.
