Nikolay Krasovsky was born in Yekaterinburg (renamed later to Sverdlovsk that year) in the family of a doctor. In 1949, he graduated summa cum laude from the department of metallurgical science at the Ural State Technical University. In 1954, he presented his first thesis and received his kandidat nauk degree in mathematics. In 1957, he defended his second thesis for the degree of doktor nauk and became a professor of mathematics.

From 1949 to 1959, he worked at the Ural State Technical University. Since 1958, he worked at the Ural State University.
