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 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. Prince Ivan married a woman from Georgian nobility and had three sons:
Pyotr Bagration (1765–1812), General in the Russian Army
Alexander Bagration (1771–1820)
