Decembrist F.F. Vadkovsky was born in July 1800 on the Pyatnitskoye estate in Yelets district (now Bolshie Izvaly in Yelets district) in the family of a senator, holder of the highest royal awards, and a major Yelets landowner. Fedor Fedorovich was the middle of three sons; he was brought up in the Noble boarding school at Moscow University, then at the Main German School of St. Peter in St. Petersburg.

From 1818 he served in the Semenovsky Life Guards Regiment, and in 1820 he was enlisted as a cornet in the Cavalry Guard Regiment. In 1923 he became a member of the secret Northern Society. An active, gifted man, he composed freedom-loving satirical poems directed against the monarchy. They became known to the government, and in 1824 F.F. Vadkovsky was transferred as an ensign to the Nezhinsky Horse Regiment, which was located in Kursk. Here he became an active member of Southern society. The provocateur handed over his secret letter to Pestel into the hands of the gendarmes. On December 9, 1825, he was arrested and imprisoned in the Shlisselburg Fortress, and on December 28, three days after the uprising on Senate Square, he was transferred to the Peter and Paul Fortress.

In the case of the Decembrists F.F. Vadkovsky was considered a “first-class criminal.” He was sentenced to death, but it was replaced by lifelong hard labor, later reduced to thirteen years. His older brother, Alexander Fedorovich, was also convicted in the Decembrist case. F.F. Vadkovsky worked in the Nerchinsky mines and the Petrovsky plant. Together with I.I. Pushchin, he was the initiator of the creation of a prison “artel” of Decembrists on a cooperative basis. He gave lectures on astronomy at the “convict academy,” played the violin a lot, and composed music. In June 1839 he was assigned to settle in the village. Oek, Irkutsk province. Here on January 20, 1844 he died of consumption.

Fedor Fedorovich Vadkovsky
Officer, Decembrist
1/13 V 1800, p. Pyatnitskoye (Izvaly) Yelets district, Oryol province. –
8/20 I 1844, p. Oyok, Irkutsk province.
Studied at the Moscow University Noble Boarding School

Coming from an aristocratic family (father - senator, mother - nee Count Chernysheva), F.F. Vadkovsky began his education in Moscow, at the University Noble boarding school (1810-1812), and continued it in St. Petersburg, in private boarding schools and in the oldest in Russian gymnasium Petrishule.
Started military service in St. Petersburg as a lieutenant warrant officer of the Lieutenant-Guards. Semenovsky regiment (from 25 I 1818). Transferred to the Cavalry Regiment as a cadet (21 IV 1820), then an estandard cadet (from 27 VIII 1820) and a cornet (from 1 I 1822). In 1824, he was noticed in “indecent behavior” (according to some sources, these were “criminal conversations”, according to others - a satirical song, according to a third - epigrams on Grand Duke Mikhail Pavlovich); By the highest decree on June 19, he was arrested and then transferred to the Nezhinsky Cavalry Regiment stationed in Kursk and renamed ensigns.
While still in St. Petersburg, he joined the Northern Secret Society, but his views were more radical than those of his comrades (in particular, he considered it necessary to exterminate all royal family), therefore, in 1823, upon the arrival of P.I. Pestel in St. Petersburg, it was decided to organize the northern branch of the Southern Society, which was headed by Vadkovsky. Both in St. Petersburg and later in the provinces, he accepted new members into the Society. Subsequently, one of those accepted, Fyodor Vadkovsky’s younger brother Alexander, wrote in his testimony:

In the summer of 1825 in Kursk, Vadkovsky trustingly accepted into the Society a provocateur - non-commissioned officer of the 3rd Ukrainian Lancer Regiment, Englishman Ivan Vasilyevich Sherwood, and in November handed him a secret letter to pass on to Pestel, which he immediately delivered to the one who was part of the retinue of Alexander I in Taganrog Chief of the General Staff I.I. Dibich. Already on December 9, Vadkovsky was arrested; in prison, he knew neither about Pestel’s arrest nor about the uprising on Senate Square on December 14. Further events are described as follows by N.Ya. Eidelman [Eidelman 1970]:

While the committee was clearing out papers and preparing new questions for Ryleev, Trubetskoy and others, Vasily Vasilyevich Levashov kept getting distracted for interrogations. On December 18, 25-year-old ensign Fyodor Vadkovsky of the Nezhinsky regiment was brought to him from the fortress with great precautions and very secretly (he had previously been in the guard, but was transferred to the army for his daring prank).
For the first time, Levashov interrogates a person who not only did not participate in the riot on December 14, but did not even suspect what happened on that day: the order to arrest Vadkovsky was signed by Dibich on December 9, and they took him before anyone else, even before Pestel. Non-commissioned officer Sherwood managed to gain his confidence. "An Englishman of inflexible will, imbued with a sense of honor, true to his word and striving for one goal"- this is how the unfortunate Vadkovsky characterized this traitor precisely in that letter to Pestel dated November 3, 1825, which Sherwood presented to the authorities.
The letter mentioned 9 members of the secret society or people close to it (Svistunov, Grabbe, Mikhail Orlov, Tolstoy, Baryatinsky, Sergei and Matvey Muravyov-Apostles, Hoffman, Bobrinsky).
Vadkovsky is the “trump card” in Nikolai’s game (ordered to contain "under strict guard and in deep secrecy"). None of the Decembrists should know about his arrest - let the new victims not guess where they found out about them, let them be confused from surprise...
At first, Vadkovsky was even kept outside the capital - in Shlisselburg; then he was transferred to the Peter and Paul Fortress, but not to the Alekseevsky Ravelin, where he might be accidentally recognized, but to the still empty Zotov Bastion.
Probably, the sudden arrest and the thick secret stunned and broke the nervous and impressionable officer: Levashov’s first interrogation revealed many more new names than Sherwood’s denunciation.

Indeed, the behavior during the investigation of many Decembrists, starting with K.F. Ryleev, was distinguished by the simple-minded frankness with which they gave “honest testimony” both to themselves and to their comrades-in-arms (one of the few exceptions is I.I. Pushchin, no one not issued). Subsequently, in prison and in Siberia, they did not darken their friendly relations memories that some of them, wittingly or unwittingly, harmed others. The Supreme Court imposed unprecedentedly severe punishments on everyone. The sentence against F.F. Vadkovsky read: “he intended to commit regicide and exterminate the entire imperial family, and incited others to it; participated in the plot to carry out a riot and in the spread of a secret society by accepting comrades into it.” Sentenced to " death penalty cutting off the head." Subsequently, the execution was replaced (after the deprivation of ranks and nobility) by eternal hard labor.
The day of execution of the five Decembrists arrived - July 13, 1826.
Decembrist Nikolai Romanovich Tsebrikov recalls [Tsebrikov 1989, p. 430–433]:
At two o'clock in the morning last time the chains rang. Five Martyrs were led to hang in the ditch of the Kronverk curtain. On the way, Sergei Muravyov the Apostle said loudly to the accompanying priest that you are leading five thieves to Golgotha ​​- and “who,” the priest answered, “will be at the right hand of the Father.” Ryleev, approaching the gallows, said: “Ryleev dies like a villain, may Russia remember him!”
At three o'clock in the morning, all the prisoners were taken out of the fortress to the square, where they burned their uniforms and broke their swords over their heads in front of the first grenadier companies lined up by the Guards Corps. Adjutant General Chernyshev ordered a large square to be brought to the gallows. Then Fyodor Vadkovsky shouted: “On veut nous rendre témoins de l’exécution de nos camarades. Ce serait une indignité infome de rester témoins impassibles d’une pareille chose. Arrachons les fusils aux soldats et jettons-nous en avant” (‘They want to force us to witness the massacre of our comrades. Let’s snatch the guns from the soldiers and rush forward!’). Many voices answered: “Oui, oui, oui, faisons-ça, faisons-ça” (“Yes, yes, yes, let’s do this, let’s do this!”), but Chernyshev and those with him, hearing this, suddenly turned the big square and ordered to go to the fortress. Chernyshev showed extraordinary jealousy during the execution with this maneuver. The hellish idea to let one admire the gallows on which the Martyrs were already hanging belongs to Chernyshev himself

On July 27, 1826, Vadkovsky, together with A.P. Baryatinsky, I.I. Gorbachevsky and V.K. Küchelbecker, was sent to Kexholm (Priozersk), where the prisoners were kept in the same dungeons where members of Emelyan Pugachev’s family had once been imprisoned. In April 1827, Vadkovsky was transferred to Shlisselburg, already familiar to him, and in November of the same year he was sent to Siberia. (The accompanying documents read: “Signs: height 2 arsh. 10 versh.”, “white face, clean, light brown hair, brown eyes, long nose.”) In January 1828 he was delivered to the Chita prison, in September 1830 transferred to Petrovsky plant. At the end of his term in 1839, he was appointed to settle in the village. Manzurka, Irkutsk province, later replaced by the village. Oyok, where he ended his days.
There is a lot of evidence left about Vadkovsky’s stay in Siberia. At hard labor he taught a course in astronomy to his comrades. He studied the history of the Decembrist movement: based on the story of three participants in the uprising of the Chernigov regiment, he compiled the note “White Church”, first published by Herzen. A virtuoso violinist, Vadkovsky organized a string quartet in the Chita prison, in which he played the first violin. Among the works performed were songs of Decembrist poets (A. Odoevsky, A. Bestuzhev, K. Ryleev, etc.), set to music by Vadkovsky. At the Petrovsky plant, together with Pushchin and the Poggio brothers, he developed the “Charter of the convict artel for managing all the affairs of the artel” - a document that greatly facilitated the life and working conditions of the Decembrists.
In 1907, Vadkovsky’s satirical song on French, dedicated Investigative Committee in 1825. And only in 1925, in the magazine “Red Archive” (No. 3), two Russian poems by Vadkovsky that we cited, which were found in the archives of the Decembrists, were first published (at the same time, the poem “Song” remained unattributed for a long time).

An excerpt characterizing Vadkovsky, Fedor Fedorovich

Everyone in the house felt for whom Prince Andrei was traveling, and he, without hiding, tried to be with Natasha all day. Not only in Natasha’s frightened, but happy and enthusiastic soul, but throughout the whole house there was a sense of fear of something important that was about to happen. The Countess looked at Prince Andrei with sad and seriously stern eyes when he spoke to Natasha, and timidly and feignedly began some insignificant conversation as soon as he looked back at her. Sonya was afraid to leave Natasha and was afraid to be a hindrance when she was with them. Natasha turned pale with fear of anticipation when she remained alone with him for minutes. Prince Andrei amazed her with his timidity. She felt that he needed to tell her something, but that he could not bring himself to do so.
When Prince Andrey left in the evening, the Countess came up to Natasha and said in a whisper:
- Well?
“Mom, for God’s sake don’t ask me anything now.” “You can’t say that,” Natasha said.
But despite this, that evening Natasha, sometimes excited, sometimes frightened, with fixed eyes, lay for a long time in her mother’s bed. Either she told her how he praised her, then how he said that he would go abroad, then how he asked where they would live this summer, then how he asked her about Boris.
- But this, this... has never happened to me! - she said. “Only I’m scared in front of him, I’m always scared in front of him, what does that mean?” That means it's real, right? Mom, are you sleeping?
“No, my soul, I’m scared myself,” answered the mother. - Go.
- I still won’t sleep. What nonsense is it to sleep? Mommy, mommy, this has never happened to me! - she said with surprise and fear at the feeling that she recognized in herself. – And could we think!...
It seemed to Natasha that even when she first saw Prince Andrey in Otradnoye, she fell in love with him. She seemed to be frightened by this strange, unexpected happiness, that the one whom she had chosen back then (she was firmly sure of this), that the same one had now met her again, and, it seemed, was not indifferent to her. “And he had to come to St. Petersburg on purpose now that we are here. And we had to meet at this ball. It's all fate. It is clear that this is fate, that all this was leading to this. Even then, as soon as I saw him, I felt something special.”
- What else did he tell you? What verses are these? Read... - the mother said thoughtfully, asking about the poems that Prince Andrei wrote in Natasha’s album.
“Mom, isn’t it a shame that he’s a widower?”
- That's enough, Natasha. Pray to God. Les Marieiages se font dans les cieux. [Marriages are made in heaven.]
- Darling, mother, how I love you, how good it makes me feel! – Natasha shouted, crying tears of happiness and excitement and hugging her mother.
At the same time, Prince Andrei was sitting with Pierre and telling him about his love for Natasha and his firm intention to marry her.

On this day, Countess Elena Vasilyevna had a reception, there was a French envoy, there was a prince, who had recently become a frequent visitor to the countess’s house, and many brilliant ladies and men. Pierre was downstairs, walked through the halls, and amazed all the guests with his concentrated, absent-minded and gloomy appearance.
Since the time of the ball, Pierre had felt the approaching attacks of hypochondria and with desperate effort tried to fight against them. From the time the prince became close to his wife, Pierre was unexpectedly granted a chamberlain, and from that time on he began to feel heaviness and shame in large society, and more often the old gloomy thoughts about the futility of everything human began to come to him. At the same time, the feeling he noticed between Natasha, whom he protected, and Prince Andrei, his opposition between his position and the position of his friend, further intensified this gloomy mood. He equally tried to avoid thoughts about his wife and about Natasha and Prince Andrei. Again everything seemed insignificant to him in comparison with eternity, again the question presented itself: “why?” And he forced himself to work day and night on Masonic works, hoping to ward off the approach evil spirit. Pierre, at 12 o'clock, having left the countess's chambers, was sitting upstairs in a smoky, low room, in a worn dressing gown in front of the table, copying out authentic Scottish acts, when someone entered his room. It was Prince Andrei.
“Oh, it’s you,” said Pierre with an absent-minded and dissatisfied look. “And I’m working,” he said, pointing to a notebook with that look of salvation from the hardships of life with which unhappy people look at their work.
Prince Andrei, with a radiant, enthusiastic face and renewed life, stopped in front of Pierre and, not noticing his sad face, smiled at him with the egoism of happiness.
“Well, my soul,” he said, “yesterday I wanted to tell you and today I came to you for this.” I've never experienced anything like it. I'm in love, my friend.
Pierre suddenly sighed heavily and collapsed with his heavy body on the sofa, next to Prince Andrei.
- To Natasha Rostova, right? - he said.
- Yes, yes, who? I would never believe it, but this feeling is stronger than me. Yesterday I suffered, I suffered, but I wouldn’t give up this torment for anything in the world. I haven't lived before. Now only I live, but I cannot live without her. But can she love me?... I'm too old for her... What aren't you saying?...
