Vasili Vasilievich Rózanov (in Russian, Василий Васильевич Розанов; Vetluga, April 20, 1856 - Moscow, February 5, 1919) was a Russian writer and philosopher. After some years as a professor of history and geography in several cities of the Russian province, he moved to St. Petersburg, where his first book, The Understanding of 1886, attracted the sympathy of the Slavophiles. Later, Rózanov imposed himself as a critic of careful preparation with the essay The Legend of the Grand Inquisitor by Fyodor Dostoevsky of 1890 and other writings on the Memoirs of the Underground and Nikolai Gogol, examined from an apocalyptic point of view between the mystic and the pansexual. Contradictory and cynical, Rózanov can be considered a representative of Russian neo-spiritualism at the beginning of the 20th century. His disillusionment with the Russian Revolution is described in the book The Apocalypse of our Time, 1918, a work translated into several languages, including Spanish.
