Ivan Zhevakhov

Ivan Semyonovich Zhevakhov (Russian: Иван Семенович Жевахов), also known as Ivane Simonis dze Javakhishvili (Georgian: ივანე ჯავახიშვილი) (1762 – 24 July 1837) was a Georgian nobleman and a general of the Imperial Russian Army.

Zhevakhov was born in the émigré Georgian family of Prince Simon Javakhishvili who had an estate in Ukraine.

Ivan's branch of the Javakhishvili family originally moved out of Georgia to Russia in the 1730s at the invitation of the exiled Georgian monarch Vakhtang VI.

Having fought in Poland in 1792, Zhevakhov was promoted to colonel in 1800 and then participated in the wars against Napoleonic France from 1805 to 1807.

Zhevakhov resigned due to health problems in 1817 and henceforth lived in Odessa where he died in 1837.
