Biography
Belorussian origin. Born into a noble family in the Mogilev province. After graduating from the Vitebsk gymnasium in 1860, he entered the medical faculty of Moscow University . However, in those years in Moscow there was no teaching of psychiatry , to which O. A. Chechott showed interest. In 1863, he transferred to the Imperial Medical and Surgical Academy , where in 1857 the Department of Nervous and Mental Diseases began to work under the direction of I.M. Balinsky . After graduating from the academy in 1866 , he took up the post of resident of a temporary mental institution at the Correctional Facility of St. Petersburg, headed by P. A. Dyukov. In 1872 the hospital was reorganized into the St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, occupying the entire building of the Correctional Facility. From 1881 to 1901 he was first a senior, and then the chief physician of the hospital. He left his post after escaping from the hospital of Jozef Pilsudski , who subsequently led the liberation movement in Poland . In 1922 , having changed citizenship, he emigrated with his family to Poland.
He died on October 8, 1924, and was buried in the necropolis "Old Povonzki" in Warsaw [1] .
