Biography
He was born in the family of a hereditary nobleman, real state adviser Dmitry Vasilievich Ivanov (1811-1885), who for 25 years was elected honorary magistrate of Ranenburg. His birthplace was the estate of his mother Lyubov Antonovna, nee Bistre (1839-1911) [1] - Solntsevo in the Ranenburg district of the Ryazan province. The maternal grandfather, Anton Antonovich Bistrom , participated in a foreign campaign against Napoleon , and the paternal grandfather, Vasily Semenovich Ivanov, heroically died in the war against the French as part of the Tula militia.
In 1889 he graduated from the 5th Moscow Gymnasium with a silver medal. In 1893 he graduated from the Law Faculty of Moscow University with a 1st degree diploma. He began his service at the Moscow Court of Justice; In the early 1900s, he was appointed as a fellow chairman of the St. Petersburg District Court and by 1917, with the rank of State Councilor, he served as director of the Department of the Ministry of Justice [2] .
From October 1918 to November 1918 he was an emissary (representative of the authorities in the province) of the Metropolitan Department of Protection of Monuments of Art and Antiquities of the Museum Department of the People 's Commissariat of Education . Natalya Ivanovna Trotskaya, head of the museum department of Glavnauki, quickly appreciated Ivanov’s legal knowledge and horizons in the field of museum affairs: he was entrusted with an inventory of noble estates. Ivanov traveled around Russia, exporting the values of Arkhangelsk, the estates of the Boryatinsky, Gorchakovs, etc.
Since January 11, 1922, he was appointed an expert at the Museum Department of the Glavnauka of the People’s Commissariat for Education at the Commission of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee of the Council of People's Commissars for Accounting and Concentration of the Values of the Court Department, and after the sudden death of Mikhail Sergeyevich Sergeyev, he was replaced as head of the Armory Chamber from April 27, 1922. In April 1924, Ivanov was arrested in a trumped-up case and spent two weeks in Butyrskaya prison.
He voluntarily passed away on January 12, 1930, not wanting to put up with the theft of Russia's cultural heritage. In a suicide note, he wrote several lines: “did not plunder, did not sell, did not trade, did not hide the Palatial values ...”. He was buried at the Vvedensky cemetery in Moscow.
Senior researcher at the Moscow Kremlin Tatyana Alekseevna Tutova points out:
The documents of our archive, replete with papers written by D. D. Ivanov’s hand, captured the image of a deeply educated man with extensive erudition that allows you to subtly analyze complex problems, citing irrefutable analogies from world museum practice; an active, gifted, devoted museum man, an exceptionally honest and talented leader.
