The son of a personal honorary citizen. He graduated from the Astrakhan gymnasium and the St. Petersburg cadet school (1909), released as a lieutenant in the 10th sapper battalion of the Warsaw Military District. At the same time carried away by aviation, initially amateur. In 1911 he was transferred to the Brest-Litovsk aeronautic battalion and, after graduating from the Aviation Division of the Officer Aeronautical School , from January 1913 with the rank of military pilot. The First World War, starting with the rank of lieutenant, graduated as a lieutenant colonel, was awarded orders for aerial reconnaissance three times and in 1917 with St. George’s weapons — for being in the ranks of the 9th corps aviation squadron with the rank of lieutenant and controlling the aeronautical apparatus in the second half of November 1914 in the vicinity of Krakow, in conditions of exceptional difficulty and danger, under enemy artillery and rifle fire, made it possible to deliver correct information about the strength, location and movements of significant enemy forces, to to near Fortress Krakow and to the south-west of it.

In 1916 he served in the Aviation Detachment of the school of observers in Gatchina, in 1917 he studied at the School of aerobatics on the apparatus of the Newport system.

After the revolution of 1917 and the peace of Brest returns to Kiev, where he lived on the eve of the war. In early November 1918, he joined the volunteer officer corps formed by the government of Hetman Skoropadsky. In early December, he was appointed commander of a boy scout squad, formed from cadets and high school students, and located in the building of the Alexander (First Kyiv) gymnasium. The squad was intended for the security service in Kiev. According to the assumption of the historian Yaroslav Tinchenko, mobilized M. A. Bulgakov was assigned to this squad as a military doctor, describing her in the novel “The White Guard” under the guise of a mortar battalion. From the fact that neither Malyshev himself, nor his subordinates did not fall into Petlyura prisoner, Y. Tinchenko concludes that Malyshev in reality behaved as it was described in the novel: in anticipation of a catastrophe, he dismissed the squad on time and hid himself, disguised in civilian clothes. In 1919, Malyshev was mobilized in the Red Army and served as a military commissar of the 41st aviation detachment, but, obviously, he ran over to the white: November 6, 1919 "declared a traitor and blacklisted."

M. A. Bulgakov portrays Malyshev in a positive light - as an intelligent and responsible officer who takes care of his subordinates and dissolves them in time to avoid senseless victims. His appearance Bulgakov describes as follows: “Mr. Colonel was a little older than Turbine - he was thirty years old, at the most thirty two. His face, fed and clean-shaven, was adorned with a black, American-trimmed mustache. The extremely lively and intelligent eyes looked obviously tired, but attentive . ”
