Born in Tifilis, Russia (modern-day Tbilisi, Georgia), he was a member of the well-documented Tizengauzen family, which their records date as far back as the year 1198 AD, even though they had not immigrated to Russia until sometime in the 18th Century.
He began his studies at a military school in Orel, but was later banned from ever reentering due to his far-left political views. A few years later, he fought in the Russian-Japanese War, and "for bravery and differences in cases against the Japanese", he was awarded the Order of St. Anna 4th-Class and the Order of St. Stanislaus 3rd-Class. During the 1905 Russian Revolution, his regiment was converted from an infantry to a reserve because of other revolutionary sentiments. The following year, he was facing a severe threat of being politically-exiled, until he was soon found innocent in trial. He remained a reserve officer until 1910, when he was honorably-discharged. He then moved and became a forester in the Northern Territory Department.
The following year, he was assigned as topographer for Vladimir Rusanov's expedition to the Arctic Circle. They sailed around the southern area of the Novaya Zemlya archipelago, making several topographical and hydro-graphic observations. In the "Northern Morning" newspaper article "Expedition to the New Earth", which was published later that same year, Rusanov noted the large role of Tizengauzen in his performance in the scientific observations. In 1913, he denied the invitation to participate in what would later turn out to be Rusanov's final and fatal mission, due to his own wife's illness.
The following year, he re-enlisted in the Russian Army. In February of 1917, he was confronted by the Socialist Revolutionary Party on the Bessarabian Front, in which he quickly became an active member of. Shortly after the October Revolution, he was arrested by the Bolsheviks (members of the Russian Communist Party), but was released shortly afterward. After that, he separated from both the army and the leftist party.
Throughout the 1920's, he established several agricultural schools in Murom and Oranienbaum. However, due to his baronial origin, he was banned from teaching in any of the schools, and thus he decided to return to expeditionary work, conducting botanical research in the lower reaches of the Pechora River and Kama River basins.
While in Leningrad (present-day Saint Petersburg), he slipped and fell on a patch of ice that tore into one of his legs. He would later pass away from gangrene that had developed in his untreated wound.
