Fedir Pirotskyi was born in 1845 in the village of Sencha. There is little information about his family, but it is known that he was born into a family of a poor landowner family of military officers in the Lokhvytsia district of Poltava province. "Historical Truth" writes that this family descends from the Cossack foreman of the Lokhvytsia Sotnia of the Lubny Regiment.
The Poltava resident received his education at the Konstantinovsky Cadet Corps in St. Petersburg and the Mikhailovsky Artillery Academy. In 1871, Fedir Pirotskyi began to think about the shortcomings of the city's horse-drawn iron railway. During a walk with the inventor Pavel Yablochkov, Pirotsky said that the salvation of mankind lies in electricity.
In the early 1870s, Fedir Pirotskyi would complete the development of a project to transmit electricity through an iron wire, which was fixed with telegraph insulators on wooden poles, and two alternating current machines of his own design. He will present his findings to the public when he works on launching an electric car on an abandoned railroad line near the Sestroretsk station. This experiment will be called a success and in 1877 he will write about it in the Engineering Journal.
Already in 1879, Fedir Pirotskyi proposed a project to develop a city tram to the St. Petersburg authorities. For the first time, officials heard that the cars could be moved by electric power, not by a horse. At the time, the Poltava resident wrote to officials that an electric horse would be faster and more reliable. In addition, piles of manure would disappear from the streets, and electricity would be much cheaper than hay and feed for horses.
