Born into a wealthy merchant family, Alexander Vasilyevich Zhivago entered the medical faculty of Moscow University. From 1886 he served in the Golitsyn hospital .

He was a member of a number of Moscow societies, including the Russian Photographic Society. Zhivago never married. This enabled him to travel at will, beginning in 1897 with the trip to Crimea. This was followed by a trip to the Caucasus and the lower teachers of the Volga. In 1900 he was invited to the Medical Congress in Paris, timed to coincide with the World Exhibition . He continued to travel, in 1901-1907, mainly in Europe. In 1909–1910 he made a long trip to Egypt and the Middle East. This began a lasting interest in ancient civilisations and collecting their monuments.....
