Born in the village of Mikulin, Rzhev district, Tver province (now Rzhevsky district, Tver region). First brought up in an English hostel in St. Petersburg, and in August 1816 entered the Naval Cadet Corps. Gardemarin participated in round-the-world voyage on the sloop "Kamchatka", commanded by V.M. Golovnin. English-speaking Lutkovsky in foreign ports also acted as interpreter during the business negotiations of the commander, who noted in his description of the journey: “Feopempt Lutkovsky was my usual companion on such trips throughout our journey; he alone knew English quite well, known in all coastal places inhabited by Europeans, and brought me great benefit and help ... If the cadets of the sea corps understood how to hurt an officer in foreign lands, do not know any foreign language, would have used every possible endeavor to study them". On September 22, 1819 Lutkovsky was given the first officer rank - midshipman. In the years 1821-1824 he participates in the second round-the-world voyage this time on the sloop Apollo, after which he is awarded the Order of St. Anna of the 3rd degree and a pension. From 1824 to 1826 he was entrusted with the appointment of the general-commissar of the fleet V.M. Golovnin for special assignments. The name of Feopempt Stepanovich Lutkovsky is also associated with the Decembrist uprising. The uprising caught Lutkovsky in St. Petersburg, he was arrested - in the case of the Investigative Committee, it was written: “According to Divov (Decembrist), Lutkovsky praised Zavalishin (Decembrist, sailor) and sometimes visited common conversations where he expressed a desire for revolution and republican rule ... When asked about this commission, one of the Belyaevs answered that Lutkovsky had a free mind. Another Belyaev showed that with him, in addition to empty talk, he no longer had any. However, Zavalishin told him that Lutkovsky did not belong to society, that he was windy and had little concern for free-thinking. Zavalishin, also asked about this, noted that if Lutkovsky judged freely about the government, it was to gain their trust, because, having found all of them with a free way of thinking, he had to adapt himself to this, that this way of thinking was not peculiar to him. tom refers to those who knew him". Perhaps the Decembrists somehow barred Lutkovsky, as later his friend F.F. Matyushkin (with whom they met during the voyage around the world on the sloop "Kamchatka" in 1817-1819) in a letter to Lutkovsky advised him to burn his messages, apparently, there was something "reprehensible" in them. As a result, the Investigation Commission failed to prove Lutkovsky’s involvement in the activities of the Decembrist societies, and he was released. January 13, 1826 he was awarded the next rank - lieutenant. Nevertheless, on July 13 of the same year, Nicholas I ordered the transfer of Lieutenant Lutkovsky from the Baltic to the Black Sea Fleet.
