Zhan Viacheslavovich Bush (Russian: Жан Вячеславович Буш born 1 April 1993) is a Russian figure skater.
He is the 2013 Cup of Nice bronze medalist, a four-time medalist on the ISU Junior Grand Prix series, and 2011 Russian national senior bronze medalist. He placed 5th at the 2012 World Junior Championships.
Bush was formerly known by the surname Devinski (Russian: Девинский), but switched to his mother's maiden name, Bush, with the consent of his whole family. His first name has sometimes been romanized as Jean or Jan.
He was born in Chelyabinsk, but his family moved to Israel soon after and returned to Russia seven years later. He spoke only Hebrew as a child, and learned Russian when the family returned. His parents enrolled him in figure skating to improve his health.
Bush began skating at age 8 in Chelyabinsk. He was coached by Larisa Yakovleva from 2004 until 2010. He competed as Devinski until the end of the 2007–08 season.
Bush finished 17th at the 2010 Russian Nationals. In spring 2010, he moved to Saint Petersburg to be coached by 1994 Olympic champion Alexei Urmanov. He won the bronze medal at the 2011 Russian Nationals.
In the 2011–12 season, Bush began appearing in senior international events, competing at the Finlandia Trophy, Nebelhorn Trophy, and Coupe de Nice. He then competed at the 2012 Russian Championships, and finished 4th with an overall score of 223.30 points. Bush was the first alternate for the 2012 European Championships in Sheffield, England. He won the gold medal at the 2012 Russian Junior Championships. Bush finished 5th at the 2012 World Junior Championships in Minsk, Belarus.
