This book is a monograph-novel about Konstantin Merezhkovskii (1855-1921), the so called "other Merezhkovskii" (not to be confused with his brother philosopher Dmitrii). Konstantin was known among his colleagues as the author of a heretical theory symbiogenesis which was rejected and forgotten until it were rediscovered by some American and later Russian biologists and called a theory of evolution of the organic world. This book is a biography of a Russian "Marquis de Sade", "an absolutely evil man": a pedophile who kept a diary of his sexual adventure, an informer to the secret police, a convinced anti-Semite, etc. This biography allowed its author to tell about university life in 1900-1910s, the political struggle among professors, sexual scandals and traditions of that time. This study is based on archival materials, most of them are published for the first time. Name index.
