Life
Steiger was the son of Lieutenant Colonel (Count Aleksander I. Mussin-Pushkin) August Nikolaus Sergius von Steiger (1867-1937) and Anna Petrovna Michajlowna (* 1882). The von Steiger family originally came from Bern and emigrated to Russia in the 19th century. Steiger was active in the literary life of the so-called "Russian Paris". He is considered to be a representative of the “ Paris note ” style. His sister, Alla Golowina , was also a writer and is the mother of Sergius Golowin . Steiger suffered from tuberculosis and spent a long time in the sanatorium.
Georgi Adamowitsch wrote about Steiger: « In his long Swiss solitude, Stejger climbed, yes wrote himself up, sick, helpless, gradually refusing everything, ultimately losing all hope, to the height of his today's bitter and pure words. (...) This "wounded bird" was stubborn, had great willpower and the courage to shake off everything seductive and to avoid its death on the only path on which it could grasp it. » .
