Biography
[edit]Born in 1750 in the noble family of Antonovich in the Kharkiv region, he studied at Kiev.
He participated as an ordinary Cossack raider in the Russian-Turkish War of 1768–1774. His success in raids promoted him in ranks.
With the settlement of the Black Sea troops in the Kuban, on December 22, 1799, he was appointed ataman in the border with Circassia. He immediately organized a number of raids against the Circassians, and personally ordered his men to burn all Circassian villages they see, even if they are villages that are loyal to the Russian Empire.[3]
He died and was buried in 1827 near the military cathedral on the Fortress Square of the Yekaterinodar Fortress.[3]
