In 1862 he was appointed professor of practical mechanics at the Mikhailov Artillery Academy in St. Petersburg.
1887-1892 he was the Russian finance minister. He again restricted the social protection laws enforced by his predecessor Nikolai von Bunge ; In 1890 occupational safety for women and children fell. His ruthless tax legislation hit the peasants and the agrarian nobility in particular. The tax hikes forced them to finance the industry. The compulsion to export grain (which made up about 3/4 of the total export until 1914) was so high that it became known as starvation export under Wyschnegradski . He is said to have said himself: "We will starve, but export". The deficit in the state budget was balanced again and international finance regained confidence in Russia.
His successor was Sergei Witte .
