Vsevolod Solovyov
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vsevolod Sergeevich Solovyov (Russian: Всеволод Сергеевич Соловьёв; 1849 - 1903) was a Russian historical novelist. His most famous work is The Priestess of Isis (1895).
Older brother of the philosopher, Vladimir Solovyov, Vsevolod visited Paris in 1884 where he met Blavatsky. He also mixed with other people in the Paris occult scene, such as Juliette Adam, Vera Jelikovsky, Blavatsky's sister and Emilie de Morsier.
By 1886 he had become a bitter and disillusioned enemy of the founder of theosophy. He abandoned his plans to promote theosophy in Russia and rather denounced Blavatsky as a failed spy of Okhrana, the Imperial Russia's secret service. At the time he was intimately involved with Yuliana Glinka, who worked for Pyotr Rachkovsky, Paris head of the Okhrana.
