Name: Peter Stepanovich Verkhovensky. Weapon name: Demon EGO: Secret Association Details: Manic Schizophrenia, Revolutionary Age: 25 Height: 177 cm Marital Status: Single Biography: Peter is a guy originally from Nest, who moved to the Backstreets for his idea of "revolution" and the creation of the Five Group. His goal was to destroy religious organisations throughout the District. Also Nikolai Stavrogin, known for his character and deeds among people, returns to Backstreets. Peter tries to involve him in his affairs, as he saw him as his ideal. Also included in the "Five" were the philosopher Shigalev, the suicidal Kirillov and the former military Virginsky. Their group's case begins with attempts to kill Ivan Shatov, who wants to leave and betray their plot. Manipulating everyone in the "team" and passing weapons from hand to hand, he manages to kill Shatov by Kirillov's hands, who then shoots himself. At the same time, Stavrogin himself commits suicide, and the other members of the "Five" were arrested. The whole plan of their "gang" could not be completed, but Verkhovensky managed to excite people even in the Nest, and therefore at first he hides at the very outskirts of the District, and then he escapes. Character: Verkhovensky is a cruel and deceitful manipulator without any moral principles. All his actions, especially those related to any chaos, are fuelled only by personal desire. He is quite cunning, devious and clever. He does not feel any pity or fear for people. To break the fate of people, it seems, and at all his hobby, while he feels absolutely no remorse. To colleagues also does not have warm feelings and often touches a nerve, including their traumas and mistakes in life. Any horrifying events cause him to only smile and laugh. Facts: -Stavrogin's crime is the only act Verkhovensky condemns. -Collects butterflies in his herbarium. -Hates the noblest members of the crew, such as Martin Eden and Matryona, the most. -His personal tastes in pleasure are afraid to know even Voland's entourage. -Source: Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoyevsky - "The Demons."

In dire need of: Peter Verkhovensky and the Banality of Evil by Richard. W. F. Pope.

The article can be found in: Dostoevsky and the Twentieth Century: The Ljubljana Papers by Malcolm V. Jones to which I don’t have access and no luck so far.
