Solovyov believed in the incarnation of Divine Wisdom in a being called Santa Sophia, a concept that greatly influenced the young symbolist poets, especially Blok and Belyi. He advocated a synthesis of Eastern and Western Churches in his book "Russia and the Universal Church" (written in French in 1889, translated into English in 1948). The imminent coming of the Antichrist was the theme of his last book "Three Dialogs on War, Progress, and the End of History" (1899, translated in 1915). His best known mystical poem is "Three Meetings" (1899), which describes his visions of Sophia. Solovyov was also deeply involved in the political writings and literary criticism of his day. Solovyov later changed his earlier convictions and began expressing views inline with the Russian Orthodox Church. Vladimir Solovyov was also known to be a very close friend and confidant of F.M. Dostoevsky. It is a widely held belief that Solovyov is the basis of the character Alyosha Karamazov from The Brothers Karamazov. Solovyov's influence can also be seen in the writings of theologists like Vladimir Lossky.
