Ivan Aleksandrovich Bagration
Prince Ivan Aleksandrovich Bagration (1730–1795), born Ivane Bagrationi (Georgian: ივანე ბაგრატიონი), was a Georgian royal prince (batonishvili) of the Bagrationi dynasty from House of Mukhrani. He was born in Iran and was the son of Prince Alexander of Kartli. His father moved to Russia in 1757 and was promoted to lieutenant colonel of the Russian imperial army. His brother Kirill was a major-general of the Russian army and a member of the Governing Senate.
Prince Ivan was a Second-Major of Russian army. He did not know the Russian language and retired very soon. He served at Kizlyar fortress.
The tombstone of Prince Ivan is located at Vsesvyatskoye Church (Храм Всех Святых во Всехсвятском) in Moscow. The monument was placed on his grave personally by his son General and Prince Pyotr Bagration. The monument is a fluted pyramid on a high pedestal. Tombstone of Prince Ivan repeatedly changed its position. Now it is set in the north of the temple near the memorial of "Reconciliation of Peoples." Tombstone of Ivan Bagration refers to the history of the monuments and is of federal significance.
