Madame Swetchine (1782 - 1857), Russian mystic, whose maiden name was Soymanof, was born in Moscow. Under the influence of Joseph de Maistre she 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 Life and Works and her Letters were published by M. de Falloux.
