In addition, after changing faculties, he studied literature from early socialists such as Charles Fourier , Saint-Simon , Robert Owen and Louis Blanc . After Lysohub concluded that socialism was the right form of society, he changed his life and moved into a small apartment with a friend, without staff. Although he was a millionaire, the owner of a huge country estate in one of the best provinces in Russia, with mansions and forests, he now lived like the poorest of his serfs, since he used his property for the revolution. He stopped paying for lectures and was expelled from the university in 1874. In 1873 a youth group was founded in Saint Petersburg with the aim of peaceful propaganda among the peasants, of which he was one of the leaders.

The severe punishment of the arrested propagandists and the increasing persecution of the socialists led Lysohub to change his views on the further path of his engagement, and so he joined the circle around Lev Deitsch and Ivan Fessenko ( Іван Федорович Фесенко ; 1846–1882) in Kiev. at.

Personally, he never took part in acts with a fatal outcome, but was considered a “financier of terrorism in Russia” and invested around 185–250,000 rubles in financing terrorist acts . In September 1878 he was arrested in Odessa and spent about a year in prison until "Trial 28" of the Odessa Military Tribunal began on August 6, in which he and other accused were found guilty on September 19, 1879 for having prepared the assassination of the Russian Emperor Alexander II and was sentenced to "death by hanging" . On August 22, 1879, Lysohub, at the age of 30, was executed on the racing field in Odessa.
