Biography

Pyotr is the grandson of Rodion Streshnev. He is the fourth and youngest son of the pantler Ivan Rodionovich Streshnev (1665-1722) and Natalya Lvovna Velyaminova (1674-1733). He was born on May 24 (or June 4), 1711. His brothers are Mikhail, Nikolai and Vasily. His sisters are Marfa (the wife of count Andrey Osterman) and Praskovya (the wife of Prince Ivan Shcherbatov).[1]

He entered the military in 1729. In 1740, he was promoted to major general, and from 1743—1744 he served on the Tsaritsynskaya line. From 1748—1752 he commanded troops in the Baltics, and since 1752 he was lieutenant general.

He commanded Moscow (1753-1758) and Ukrainian divisions (1758-1762). In 1758, he was awarded the Order of Saint Alexander Nevsky and the rank of general-in-chief. From 1761—1762 was governor-general in Kyiv. He was discharged April 2 1762. He died September 5 (or 16) 1771. He is buried in Donskoy Monastery, "in the refectory."[2]
