Biography
Born in 1843 in the Mikhailovsky district of the Ryazan province in a noble family. He studied at the 2nd St. Petersburg gymnasium, and then at the Department of Natural Sciences of the Physics and Mathematics Faculty of St. Petersburg University.
As a 2nd year student, on September 26, 1861, he was imprisoned in the Peter and Paul Fortress for participation in the student movement. He was released on bail on November 15 of the same year (the mother’s illness served as the basis), and was soon forgiven, getting rid of a strict suggestion and obligation to become a matriculated student or return to his homeland. Preferred to continue training, while he was given under public police supervision [1] .
On May 8, 1867, he was approved to the degree of a candidate, and on October 8 of the same year he was elected Conservative of the Paleontological Office of St. Petersburg University. According to the recollections of a colleague and friend of Alexei Ivanovich, A. A. Inostrantsev, Venetsky brought from his homeland "almost a full bag" of ammonites and "left behind a rather prominent mark in the study of the Jurassic system" of the Ryazan province. At the same time, scientific career did not attract Venetsky: “he sought only to significantly expand his scientific outlook, and then go to the village again — he will manage” [2] . He left the university and went home, having learned about the grave condition of his mother, and after her death he submitted a petition for dismissal from the service, which was satisfied on September 17, 1869.
Having settled in his estate in the Mikhailovsky district of the Ryazan province, Venetsky was soon elected a justice of the peace and held this position on election until the introduction of the Zemsky chiefs institute instead of the justices of the peace.
He died before 1919 (this year the memoirs of A. A. Inostrantsev were written, in which Venetsky’s death was mentioned).
