The eldest of nine children (three boys and six girls), Suvorin attended the Mikhailovsky military academy in Voronezh, from which he graduated in 1851.

In 1861 he moved to Moscow to work for the magazine 'Russian Speech' («Русской речи») and then moved to St. Petersburg in 1863 where he continued to write for several different magazines. He continued to rise through the ranks in the magazine and newspaper world in St. Petersburg, acquiring the newspaper Novoye Vremya ('New Times') in 1876 of which he remained the editor in chief until his death.
