A member of the mighty Muravyov family, he took part in an expedition to the eastern shore of the Caspian Sea, negotiated with the Khan of Khiva on trade between the khanate and Russia. He distinguished himself during the battle of Warsaw (1831) of the November Uprising. Continuing to serve in the military, he took active part in the fights of the Crimean War.
