Alexey Dmitrievich Golovachev. Orthodox. He received his education in The page corps. Joined the service on 08/19/1874. He was released as a Second Lieutenant (art. 08.08.1880) to the 3rd Guards and Grenadier Art Brigade. Warrant Officer of the guards (art. 08/06/1881). Sub-lieutenant (art. 30.08.1884). Lieutenant (art. 01.01.1885). I.K. Surskoy in his book "Father John of Kronstadt" published a story by Major General Alexander Fedorovich Akkerman, who lives in Belgrade, Serbia. Here is the text of the story: "Approximately in 1899-1900 in St. Petersburg, the captain of the Life Guards of the 2nd Artillery Brigade, Alexey Dmitrievich Golovachev, who was then about 40 years old, became seriously ill; the painful condition worsened, as the effects of the disease passed to the heart. Many doctors were contacted, there were consultations of doctors who had lost hope of recovery, and the then famous St. Petersburg diagnostician Dr. Nechaev (Chief Physician of the Obukhov Hospital) decisively declared that there was no salvation, and if the patient survived by a miracle, he would still be "forever" crippled.

There was only one remedy left— prayer and the grace of God. The patient's mother turned to fr. John of Kronstadt with a request to visit the patient and give him communion. At that time, the patient was very weak and apathetic, and lost all interest in life, but at the same time, as a religious person, expressed a great desire to see Fr. Father John came, blessed the patient, talked with him and gave him communion. The very next day, the patient felt more cheerful: he began to show interest in life, and his health improved noticeably and quickly. Dr. Nechaev said that this was certainly a miracle, because Golovachev's disease was so clear and so clearly expressed that medicine in this case could not be mistaken and, according to the dictates of science, the patient had to die and only by a miracle could remain alive, but a complete cripple, because the patient's heart was organically corrupted forever. Captain Golovachev soon recovered, became stronger and became a completely healthy man, continued to serve in the ranks, spent the entire Great War. I remember this incident firmly and I bring it not from hearsay, but as an eyewitness – Captain Golovachev was my commander of the Life Guards battery in the 2nd Artillery Brigade."
