The son of an unsuccessful Moscow entrepreneur the anarchist Cherepanov, Donat Andreevich studied at the 3rd Moscow Gymnasium in the same class as V.F. Khodasevich , and, according to the latter’s recollections, he did not shine with success. According to unconfirmed reports, he graduated from the Faculty of Law of Moscow University . Khodasevich, who last saw Cherepanov in the fall of 1916, writes that he

" behaved with great swagger, talked about “girls”, about drinking, about the fact that there was just no money to turn around... I’ll be honest - he seemed like a hooligan to me. He didn't look like a revolutionary at all. But there is no doubt that he was a man who was bored to hell with his drab, working life. When I asked what he did, Cherepanov replied that he served in the statistical department of either the zemstvo or the city government".

He became interested in politics in 1917, joined the Socialist Revolutionary Party, then became a Left Socialist Revolutionary. He gained some fame, along with such figures as Spiridonova and Kamkov.[citation needed]

"Member of the Central Committee of the PLSR . He took a direct part in the uprising of July 1918 . After its failure, he went underground, becoming the leader of the so-called “left wing” of the Left Socialist Revolutionaries, who advocated an irreconcilable terrorist struggle against the Bolsheviks. The underground nickname is “Shard”. He established contact with a group of “underground anarchists” led by Kazimir Kovalevich, and together with him organized an explosion in Leontyevsky Lane on September 25, 1919".[1] . this attack led to the death of Vladimir Zagorsky and 11 others.[2]

Arrested by the MCHK on February 20, 1920, Cherepanov was personally interrogated by the leaders of the Cheka, Dzerzhinsky and Ksenofontov.[3]

According to the Cheka, he was exiled to Siberia.[citation needed]

Cherepanov was expelled from PLSR(i) in September 1919.[4]

During the October 1918 Fourth All-Russian Congress of the Party of Left Socialist-Revolutionaries (internationalists) Cherepanov was one of the participants who voiced critiques against the actions of the PLSR(i) Central Committee, arguing that the party should abandon armed struggle against the Bolsheviks and seek legalization of the party.[5][6]

Grigory Ostrin portrayed Cherepanov in the 1968 film The Sixth of July.[citation needed]
