Fyodor Vasilyevich Rostopchin was born on March 23, 1763 in Orel, Russia. He was the son of Vasily Fyodorovich Rostopchin (22 March 1765 - 1810), a junior officer in the Russian army, Lord of Livny and wife Nadezhda Kryukova. His family was Tatar.
He was disgraced in 1801 for his opposition to the French alliance, but was restored tofavour in 1810, and was shortly afterwards appointed military governor of Moscow. He was therefore charged with its defence against Napoleon, and took every means to rouse the population of the town and district against the invader. He has been generally charged with instigating the burning of Moscow the day after the French had made their entry; it is certain that the prisons were opened by his order, and that he took no means to stop the outbreak. He defended himself against the charge of incendiarism in a pamphlet printed in Paris in 1823, La Verite sur I'incendie de Moscou, but he subsequently made grave admissions. Shortly after the congress of Vienna, to which he had accompanied the Tsar Alexander, he was disgraced. His Memoires ecrits en dix minutes were posthumously published at St Petersburg in 1853, his CEuvres inedites in Paris in 1894. A partial account of his life was written by his grandson A. de Segur (Paris, 1872).
