===================================
Russian book published in 1893

 "Helena P. Blavatsky and a Modern Priest of Truth"

  "An Answer from Madame Y (V. P. Zhelikhovskaya) to Mr. Vsevolod Solovyov"


Written by Vera Petrovna Zhelikhovskaya, a well-known Russian writer who was the younger sister of the famous occultist and founder of Theosophy, Helena Blavatsky.
She published the text under her frequent pseudonym, Madame Y 

 This work is a fierce publicist defense of Blavatsky.
It was written as a direct rebuttal to the writer and journalist Vsevolod Solovyov.
Solovyov had previously been a close associate of Blavatsky but later turned against her, publishing a series of scathing articles and a highly critical book titled A Modern Priestess of Isis , exposing her as a fraud.

 In this text, Zhelikhovskaya passionately defends her late sister's reputation, legacy, and the global recognition of her Theosophical teachings, attempting to systematically debunk Solovyov's allegations and personal claims.
