Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SUS-TAV
SWETCHINE, MADAME (17821857) ,
Russian
  mystic, whose maiden name was Soymanof, was born in Mpscow, and under the
influence
  of Joseph de
Maistre
  became a member of the Roman Catholic
Church
  in 1815. In the following year she settled in Paris where, until her death, she maintained a famous salon remarkable no less for its high courtesy and intellectual brilliance than for its religious atmosphere. Though not physically beautiful she had a personality of rare spiritual charm, nurtured in the private chapel of her
house
 . Her
husband
 , General Swetchine, was 25 years her senior. Her
Life
  and Works (of which the best known are " Old Age " and " Resignation ") were published by M. de Falloux (2 vols., 1860) and her Letters by the same editor (2 vols., 1861).
