A Russian revolutionary and Decembrist (member of the December Party). After graduating from the Central Military Academy, he participated in the Patriotic War (Napoleonic Wars) and fought in various places following Napoleon's army. In 1816, he joined the first Decembrist secret society, the Salvation Union. In 1818, he established a branch of the second society, the Welfare Union, in Tlichen, southern Russia, where he worked. In 1821, he was promoted to colonel. In March of the same year, he founded the Southern Society of the Decembrists and became its leader. He abolished serfdom and autocracy, and drafted the Russkaya Pravda (Russian Code), which could be considered a constitution for when Russia became a republic in the future, and made this the platform of the society. In December 1825, he was arrested just before the uprising, and after trial, he was executed along with four other leaders.
