Biography
He graduated from the course at the school of Prince Bezborodko three years after Gogol - in 1831 . Carried away by mathematics, he refused the best place that seemed to him to act as a teacher of his favorite subject; in 1834-1850 he served in the Novgorod and Poltava cadet corps.
Frustrated health forced him to leave the service, he went abroad, where his health recovered and gave him the opportunity to take a long trip to the East, described by him in the book “Memoirs of a fan of the Holy Land” (St. Petersburg, 1855; second edition of 1856; third - 1859 ) Having made his second journey to Jerusalem , Syria and Arabia, he died in Jerusalem during his third stay there; buried on Mount Zion.
