[1] Born in the family of Lieutenant General Alexei Alexandrovich Svechin from his marriage with the daughter of Colonel, the favorite of Suvorov, Fedosya Petrovna Koritskaya.

On October 1, 1863, "in retaliation for the excellent courage shown in dealing with the highlanders during the expedition of the Adagum detachment in 1862," he was granted the Order of St. Vladimir of the 4th degree with swords and bows.

He died of pneumonia in 1896 in St. Petersburg, was buried in the chapel of the Church of the Intercession of the Virgin in the village of Tupichev, Chernihiv province.

Wife (from February 21, 1864)[3] - Princess Lyubov Sergeyevna Golitsyna (October 27, 1841 - 02.06, 1910), maid of honor of Grand Duchess Olga Fedorovna (01.21.1861), daughter of Prince S.P.

Grand Duke Mikhail Nikolayevich graciously threatened the princess with marriage and jokingly said: “Wait, as soon as we eat in the Caucasus, I will give you married now!” And really humorous and sweet foreshortening came true.

Soon the news spread around Petersburg that the princess married and for whom - to Svechin, for whose narrow-mindedness and pomp that vanity was glorified throughout the Caucasus.
