Life

Ivan Pushchin, son of Senator Ivan Petrovich Pushchin (1754-1842) from Ostashkov Rajon and his wife Alexandra Mikhailovna, née Ryabinina, came from the noble family of Pushchins on his father's side. Ivan was educated at the Tsarskoe Selo Lyceum from 1811 to 1817 . At this elite school, he was friends with Pushkin . Ivan began his military career in October 1817 as an ensign in the Imperial Bodyguard Mounted Artillery . On January 26th, 1823 - in the meantime become a lieutenant - he resigned after a controversy with Grand Duke Michael and from then on embarked on a civilian career as a lawyer. From December 13, 1823 he was a judge at the Moscow Court of Justice. Exercising such an office was frowned upon among nobles. Pushkin, however, praised Ivan Pushchin's step in the right direction.

Soon after leaving the Lyceum - that is, from late autumn 1817 - Iwan, together with Alexander Nikolajewitsch Muravjow , Michail Nikolajewitsch Muravjow-Wilenski , Pawel Iwanowitsch Koloschin, Iwan Grigoryevich Burzew, Vladimir Dmitrijewitsch Volkhovsky and Wilhelm Küchlbecker , had one of the saints' forerunners of the secret band of Desebundes , conspired. In 1817 he had joined the Rescue Association , the first Decabrist secret society, and in 1818 he had become a member of the Welfare Association .

On January 11, 1825, Ivan Pushchin met with Pushkin and informed his friend about the existence of a secret society.

Ivan Pushchin participated as a civilian in the officers' survey on St. Petersburg's Senate Square in December 1825 . Immediately after the failure of the uprising, Alexander Gorchakov offered him to flee. Ivan Pushchin turned down the offer.
