Features: This book not only provides a detailed description of Meléyevsky's creative work, social activities, and personal life but also vividly introduces a series of prominent figures from the Russian literary, artistic, philosophical, and political circles at that time from their (Meléyevsky couple) unique perspective. These include Leo Tolstoy, Blok, Belyayev, André Bely, Bunin, Solovyov, Gorky, A. Tolstoy, Rozanov, Brannov, Berdyaev, Buniakov, Savinkov, Kerensky, and others. Their interactions and joint struggles with the founders of the new Russian art, the founder and leader of the internationally renowned Russian Ballet Company, Sergei Diaghilev, and his artistic world society, undoubtedly constitute a significant chapter in the history of Russian literature and art in the 20th century.
