Biography[edit]

He grew up in a noble family. From September 1781 he studied at the Kharkiv Collegium. In May 1787, he was assigned to the fortress of St. Elizabeth hospital to care for the sick. In February 1789, he was transferred to the main hospital at the main apartment of Grigory Potemkin, where he received extensive practice “not only in one hospital, but also on the battlefield,” including during the siege of Ochakiv [1] [2].

After end of the Russo-Turkish War (1787–1792), he returned to the hospital in Elisavetgrad, where from December 1789 he was a prosector of anatomy. In January 1791, he was promoted to physician and began teaching osteology and the “science of dislocations and fractures” at the hospital’s medical-surgical school, and also served as a surgeon [3].

In January 1795, he began attending lectures and practical classes at Moscow University, and in October he was hired as a doctor at the Moscow Military Hospital.

In August 1800, he received the degree of Doctor of Medicine and Surgery and in September took the position of associate professor at the Medical-Surgical Academy. At the same time, at the invitation of Metropolitan Plato, he taught in 1802-1808 “the entire course of medical sciences” at the Slavic-Greek-Latin Academy (without salary); also lectured at the Moscow Theological Academy [4].

He left the university in 1835 with the rank of professor and died in his estate in 1850 [5].

In the city of Kropyvnytskyi (Ukraine) there is a medical college named in his honor [6].
