Andrei Bely
As a young man, Bely was strongly influenced by his acquaintance with the family of philosopher Vladimir Solovyov, especially Vladimir's younger brother Mikhail, described in his long autobiographical poem "The First Encounter" (1921); the title is a reflection of Vladimir Solovyov's "Three Encounters". It was Mikhail Solovyov who gave Bugaev his pseudonym Andrei Bely.
