The article profiles Vasilii Rozanov, a Russian intellectual who rejected Western materialism and radicalism and Christianity at the turn of the 19th century. He completed his studies in the faculties of history and philosophy and became a high schoolteacher of history and geography. He was taken on as a regular contributor to the semi-official daily "Novoe Vremia." It was stated that there is no area in Rozanov's writings and in his personal behavior where contradiction is more clearly manifested than in his attitudes towards Jews and Judaism.
